Why iron in the egg yolk not digest properly?

It will digest "properly" unless it has been consumed along with milk to tea/coffee (which all inhibit iron absorption). You may be referring to the fact that iron in an egg is not "haem" iron - a kind of iron which is easier for the human body to synthesise. Haem iron is the kind of iron found in meat, which is more easily utilized by the body. (Although it may appear that meat is more difficult to digest than an egg, the iron it meat is more easily absorbed).
