What will happen if the inner part of earth has been destroyed

Well, there are a lot of different kinds of planetary cores. Most of the ones that are friendly to life are molten and constantly moving, so what constitutes destroying something with no real fixed form is… Complicated.
But odds are the rest of the planet is screwed no matter what.
So, first and simplest to visualize but hardest to explain would be that all the liquid they used to be in the core is somewhere else now. Assume that it was teleported away or somehow reduced to particles so tiny that they leaked out through all the layers above.
That planet is about to violently implode. There are a lot of liquid or semi liquid layers above the core, and they're not going to be structurally sound at all. Gravity is going to make them fall inwards towards each other to form a new core in short order, which leaves you with the solid outer crust.
While it's tempting to see that as behaving like a really weird dome over a molten fireball, the crust really just floats at the top. The tectonic plates aren't that strong or that connected to each other, so they're going to fall inwards very quickly and join the molten hell. They'll also break apart and crumble on the way down, so odds are that by the time it's done there everything recognizable will be gone.
Now let's assume that the core isn't just gone, and that it's just been blown apart or burst.
The surface is still screwed. If we assume that an explosion large enough to actually open up a void in the core went off, it's going to force all that molten metal up into the surrounding areas, setting up a massive pressure wave. Now this is unlikely to make the entire planet explode, as you need a lot more power for that, and all that pressure will eventually force things more or less back onto their place. But in the mean time, the entire planet is going to bulge out.
Basically… The crust is going to pop like a water balloon.
Lava from the mantle will stream out of the seams between the tectonic plates, sweeping up and over the surface. Every volcano would erupt at once. Depending on how bad it was, new seams might even open up as the crust shattered under the strain. Then, slowly, the lava would start to recede, dragging much of the ex crust back down into the mantle as the outer layers of the flows would have begun to cool while the former ground was being liquified by all that heat and pressure. You might see a few ash choked remnants of the former terrain for a while if it were a small core explosion, but it's also possible that you'd see a complete resurfacing like we've observed on Venus.
So yeah… Bad things all around.
