•Why does Iron Corrode If the layer of zinc is broken

$\huge\star{\underline{\underline\mid{\blue{\boxed{\tt{Answer}}}}}}\star$

If the zinc coating is broken, the galvanised object remains protected against rusting because zinc is more reactive than iron and hence can be easily oxidised . Thus when zinc layer breaks down, the zinc continues to react and gets oxidised . Hence iron is protected.
