Popcorn is a snack food made up of hard kernels that swell up and burst open with a pop when heated. Its main ingredients are popcorn kernels and oil.
Each kernel has a little moisture in it. When the moisture is heated and boils, since the kernel is sealed, it explodes under pressure from the boiling moisture which has no where to go.
No, popcorn kernels cannot be planted to grow popcorn plants. Popcorn kernels are the seeds of a specific type of corn that has been bred to pop when heated, but they will not grow into popcorn plants if planted.

its the water inside
Popcorn pops due to the moisture inside the kernel turning into steam when heated. The pressure from the steam builds up until the kernel explodes, turning inside out and creating the fluffy snack we enjoy.
In 1950, movie theaters typically used large, commercial-grade popcorn machines to pop popcorn. These machines often employed a heated kettle where oil was used to pop the corn kernels, resulting in fresh popcorn for patrons. The popcorn was usually seasoned with butter and salt, making it a popular snack during film screenings.
When popcorn is heated, the water inside the kernal begins to boil and eventually the pressure pops/explodes the kernal into a piece of popcorn.
The radiator would not be hot enough to trigger the chemical reaction which makes the popcorn pop.
