Water that turns to steam explosively when heated. The hard shell is keeping the moisture in until the steam blows it open.

Popocorn kernels incorporate oil and water with starch, surrounded by utilising a challenging and powerful outer coating. whilst popcorn is heated, the water interior the kernel attempts to enhance into steam, even though it can't get away via the seed coat (the popcorn hull). the warm oil and steam gelatinizes the starch interior the popcorn kernel, making it softer and extra pliable. whilst the popcorn reaches a temperature of a hundred and eighty °C (356 °F) the rigidity interior the kernel is around a hundred thirty five psi (930 kPa), that's adequate rigidity to rupture the popcorn hull, in fact turning the kernel interior-out. The rigidity interior the kernel is launched very immediately, increasing the proteins and starch interior the popcorn kernel right into a foam, which cools and instruments into the conventional popcorn puff.

It is the expanding moisture inside the kernnel that makes it pop.

Moisture. That is why popping corn pops and Indian corn doesn't as Indian ccrn (for deocrative purposes only) is dried out.

The very most inside is a starch, the middle is the germ(the living part) and the outer is cellulose. only a particular kind of corn can pop when heated. These corn kernals are dried corn seeds. Here is a more concise web page that you can read.

The corn kernnel is. When you heat it -- it opens up. So the fluffy white part is the inside of the kernnel expanded.

Water.
If it doesn't pop, there was a hull breach, and the water evaporated.
