When a metal react with the salt solution and displaces the metal present in it, is called displacement reaction.
Iron can displace copper from its salt solution because iron is placed higher in the activity series than copper and is more reactive than copper. Whereas copper is less reactive and cannot displace iron from its salt solution.

A more active metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution are called displacement reaction.
Iron can displace copper from its salt solution as iron is situated in the upper position than copper in the reactivity series. So, copper cannot displace iron from its salt solution.
The reaction in which iron can displace copper from its salt solution is
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) = Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq)
