Because the peptone iron agar is used to detect ANAEROBIC bacteria. If you stab it deep into the agar you allow the bacteria to grow in the absence of oxygen. If you only inoculated the surface the bacteria wouldn't grow.

What are the uses of deep agar?
Agar deeps are used to see whether an organism requires oxygen to grow. If there is spreading growth only at the bottom of the tube, the organism is an obligate anaerobe (meaning it cannot tolerate oxygen). If there is growth only at the surface of the agar, the organism is an obligate aerobe (it cannot grow without oxygen). And if there is growth all along the point of innoculation, the organism is a facultative anaerobe and can survive either way.
