Solution

Core

Explanation:

The Core is the densest part of the Earth, primarily composed of iron and nickel. It is responsible for Earth's magnetism due to the movement of molten iron in the outer core, which generates the Earth's magnetic field. The core consists of two parts: the outer core (liquid) and the inner core (solid).
