The inner core is composed of iron and nickel. As the earth formed the heaviest elements, due to gravity, made there way to the center of the mass that became the Earth.

The earth's core is molten iron. Iron is a very abundant element and it is also quite a heavy element, so it makes sense that you'd find molten iron way down at the bottom in many planets. Iron is produced in most every large star as its last phase of the fusion process, before it goes nova.

It's the part of the Earth way down deep inside. It's about 1,250 km thick (radius), and is mostly all iron, nickel, and a little bit of sulfer and sand.
