I always like looking at the biggest issue that could be wrong. It could be a disease like “corn tar” it’s adapted by fungus… but it really doesn’t look like that.. I’ll attach a picture after this..

But it really doesn’t look like that.. I’m not really experienced with corn plant but it looks kinda dried out and I don’t see any leaves… you may be giving it too much sun? And too little water? Where is your plant located right now, and how much water do you give it? And when was the last thing this little guy has had leaves on him?

So someone in my community gave it away. The pot was soaked so I’m thinking overwatered. It did have leaves but 99% were brown so I cut

Ok.. you might have to do a full repotting then, and research the best type of soil to use… and basically just fully start over if that makes sense
