The Earth is split up into different layers; The Crust (Oceanic and Continental Crust), The Mantle (Upper & Lower Mantle) and The Core (Outer and Inner Core).
The Crust: Oceanic Crust consists of Basalt and Gabbro. The Continental Crust consists mostly of Granite (intrusive rock).
The Mantle, consists mainly of the ultramafic rock known s Peridotite. Peridotite is a rare rock to find, but it is the most abundant rock on our planet!!
In relation to the question, the core is located within the centre of the Earth, as with every other planet. The Core consists of an Iron (Fe) alloy. This alloy is in a liquid state within the Outer Core and it is in a solid state within the Inner Core.
