Solution
The corrosion of iron is called rusting.
Explanation:
Rusting occurs when iron reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air to form a reddish-brown flaky coating. This coating is chemically known as hydrated iron(III) oxide. Unlike some other metals, this process continuously eats away at the iron, weakening the metal structure over time.
