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.

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.
