I'm allergic to corn, so I don't know if this is true, but if I pooped a food that was still whole I'd consider not eating it again.
The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it's less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.
