Why is it important for Earth’s magnetic field that the inner core is hotter than the outer core?

The temperature of the inner core is far above the melting point of iron. However, unlike the outer core, the inner core is not liquid or even molten. The inner core's intense pressure—the entire rest of the planet and its atmosphere—prevents the iron from melting.
