Can you grow corn from a piece of corn?
yes, it should grow with no problem. <><><> Maybe. If the original corn is a hybrid, what you get from planting it may not look like what you planted. If it is an "heirloom" non-hybrid seed, such as Country Gentleman sweet corn, you will get Country Gentleman. If it is a Hybrid Super Sweet, you may get a plant that looks more like a grass- one of the parents of the hybrid.

Can kernels from an ear of corn which you raised be planted?
If it was a standard "open pollinated" corn (an "old style" corn), yes - it will reproduce new corn plants and ears exactly like the one you planted the kernels from. If it is a newer hybrid corn (and 98% of all corns grown are hybrid corns) then no, it can't. It will create corn plants, that will grow ears, but the ears will revert to one or another of the parents mated to produce the hybrid - maybe with good results, maybe with very disappointing results.
