Popcorn is a type of corn. Most popping corn is specifically grown for that purpose using strains which exhibit good popping characteristics.
To pop, the kernels need to have a hard shell which is impervious to moisture. When heated, the moisture trapped inside turns to steam and builds up pressure, eventually rupturing the shell and turning the starchy contents into a foam, which rapidly cools and sets into the familiar puffy "popcorn".
