Dr. Google says, "Insoluble fiber!"  That sturdy cellulose on the outer part of the kernel goes right through.

Myth:  Your body cannot digest corn — and that’s a bad thing.
While it’s true that corn has high amounts of insoluble fiber — meaning, the kind of fiber that goes through the body intact and gets those bowel movements going — this is not a bad thing, McDaniel says. Sure, if you eat a lot of corn, you might see some of it in your stool, but insoluble fiber has been shown in research to help feed the “good” bacteria in our gut.

The fibrous outer shells of corn kernels, however, do not break down due to lack of the necessary digestive enzymes.
