Answer:
This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by 14.5 psi .
Even though the inner-core temperature is now thought to be hotter than the Sun's surface, the tremendous pressure this deep inside the Earth overrides the effects of temperature and prevents the iron from being liquefied. Instead, the iron at the core is a solid and has a spherical shape.
