Popcorn is made from small, hard kernels of corn. Because each grain contains water, heating them to a high enough temperature converts the moisture inside the kernels to steam, increasing the pressure inside the unbreakable kernel shell. Steam is released when the external kernel shell cracks, releasing the soft inner flake, causing the characteristic popping sound.
