This is quite common with modern corn, and many of the heirloom cultivars. These are called "tillers" and are similar to "suckers" in other plants.

These are common to all grass species, including corn! They will produce, and they will act as part of the plant, as long as the growing season is long enough. There is no real reason to remove them.
