This outer yellow coating is almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through the gut untouched. ChaCha on!

Corn is digested, however the outer shell of the corn (The yellow part) does not, simply because of the material it is!

The cells that make up the corn kernels are made of cellulose which we cannot digest. We do digest the vitamins & minerals though.
