What each one brings
corn
The woody side. Woody notes make up 7% of its labelled aroma molecules, against 2% for biscuit. It carries 243 molecules biscuit doesn't have.
biscuit
Much the same character. It carries 6 molecules corn doesn't have.

Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of biscuit's flavor molecules (197 of 203) are also found in corn, but corn has 243 that biscuit lacks. Biscuit gives you part of corn's character without most of its woody side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
