sweet corns growing at an angle

I noticed changes in leaves texture as sweet corns grew taller .... Now becoming very silky and shiny. Two of them grew straight and healthy and the rest at an angle .... I am trying to reason out for such a behaviour .... Possibly the soil is a bit soft, and therefore the roots cant hold plants verticality. The stems simply slide out of the earlier leaves ....... But I do notice how the plants are trying to make corrections. I can almost see the changes everyday, where the inclined stems are in jovial mood to correct the inclined angle .... and becoming more vertical ....

    Only six sweet corns on the plot ... barely enough for us I think, but they offer vast amount of oppurtunity to observe corns' character and growing habit...thanks.
