Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of cornstarch weighs 8 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.

This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 108.2 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 81.2 grams.

The other way round: how many tablespoons a weight fills
This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of cornstarch is 12.5 tablespoons there.
