Explanation :

The two pieces of iron attract each other due to the presence of magnetic force.

We know that the two like poles repels and two unlike poles repels each other. A piece of iron when brought near another piece, they attract each other.

The space around a piece of iron is called the magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field shows the presence of magnetic force.

two pieces of irons cannot attract each other unless at least one of them is magnetize. That force is called magnetism.
