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.
how many corn kernels are on one ear of corn
An ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows.
7200
A kernel. Kernels are arranged on an ear.
an ear of corn does have living parts. The green husk for example. But the corn kernels themselves are composed of endosperm and seed nuclei and don't begin life until they are planted and sprout.
There is no exact number of corn-kernels on an ear of corn. It all really depends on the growing conditions and size of corn when it's harvested.

It is a living thing because the embryos of those kernels on that ear of corn, even though they have reached senescence when harvested, are still able to grow (or germinate) when planted in the soil to make new corn plants.
about 1,000 kernels of corn
