Here's why:
* Earth's Structure: The Earth is made up of several layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
* Inner Core: The inner core is the Earth's innermost layer. It's incredibly hot and dense, with pressures so immense that the iron, along with some nickel, remains solid despite the extreme temperatures.
* Outer Core: The outer core, surrounding the inner core, is also primarily composed of iron and nickel, but it's liquid.
