Yes, corn is an angiosperm. Angiosperms are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit, and corn fits this description as it produces seeds (kernels) inside the husk.
Popcorn kernels contain water and starch. When heated, the water inside the kernel turns into steam, causing the starch to gelatinize and expand, eventually leading to the kernel exploding and turning inside out.
