A supernova does not completely destroy a star. Supernovae are the most violent explosions in the universe. But they do not explode like a bomb explodes, blowing away every bit of the original bomb. Rather, when a star explodes into a supernova, its core survives. The reason for this is that the explosion is caused by a gravitational rebound effect and not by a chemical reaction, as explained by NASA. It is true that within most stars there are violent hydrogen fusion reactions churning away, but these do not cause the supernova. Stars are so large that the gravitational forces holding them together are strong enough to keep the nuclear reactions from blowing them apart. It is the gravitational rebound that blows apart a star in a supernova.
