The hard corn kernels have water in them. When the water heats (i.e in the microwave or in a pot on the stove) it turns to steam and builds up pressure until the outer case of the corn kernel can't handle the pressure any more and pretty much turns it self in side out releasing such pressure in the process. Hope this helps.
