Corn can be digested but is often only partially digested by the time it passes through the system, pepper, same thing. Most seeds pass through the body undigested because they have an outer shell composed of cellulose, a hard, fibrous material that the human body cannot digest. Cellulose is a component of many diet pills because it expands in the stomach and makes you feel full but passes out undigested. Other things that the human body can't digest are chitinous outershells (think shrimp and lobster shells and most fibrous plants. Incidentally, the body cannot fully digest celery and it is actually the only NEGATIVE calorie food - the body expends more energy trying to digest it than are contained in the food itself.

Here is some info on the theory:
Corn poop is one of the greatest mysteries in life. I grew up pondering the same question. This is what I think is happening:
When we chew corn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernel. This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernel, although it is mostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernel is starchy and digestible, and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up.

I have always wondered that and someone said it is because you do not chew every corn kernel and some go through whole.

Because your butthole likes to reassemble corn. It has hobbies, too, you know.
