Why is the core so important to all life on earth

Answer 1

Earth's core is important for three main reasons:

(1) it is responsible for the generation of Earth's magnetic field;

(2) it contains information regarding the earliest history of accretion of the planet; and

(3) thermal and compositional features established when the core formed have largely controlled the subsequent evolution of the core and also influence the evolution of the mantle, crust, and atmosphere
