Answer:

a rock containing a lot of iron

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron ore is an ore of iron and this implies a rock that contains a substantial amount of iron.

An ore is a naturally occurring rock type that hosts a certain type of metal or solid that can be won at profit with some gangue minerals. Iron ore is one such type of substance from which significant amount of iron can be extracted for use by man. The remaining part quite not useful is the gangue.
