A candle wick is a thin string down the centre of the candle.
A candle has a wick because without one the lit candle would not burn.

Yes a candle wick is necessary to get the candle flame. The molten wax ascends the wick by capillary force and burns to create the flame.
In a traditional candle, the part that burns is the wick. The wick is typically a braided or twisted cord made from natural fibers, such as cotton or hemp, or sometimes from a blend of natural and synthetic materials.

it is a chemical change
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward.
no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.
Yes. The wick goes all accross the candle. You simply burn the bottom of the candle a little and the wick will stick if the bottom burns enough. So you lay the candle and stick it on a square object and light both ends of the candle.
This is because a candle will change its whole form and stay that way, which is a physical outer change. And a candle wick only burns, it doesn't change it's appearance.
No it all depends on the type of waxand how long the wick is.
