Enriched uranium with a higher ratio of U-235 to U-238 than naturally occurring uranium.

I presume you mean which isotope of Uranium was used in the bomb?
If you do, the isotope which did the damage was Uranium 235.
This isotope is not normally present in sufficient quantities in naturally occurring Uranium (which is predominantly Uranium 238) and it has to be "enriched" to increase the proportion of U235 present.

Yes because it's one of the most important elements in making a nuclear bomb.
