Can be made of many materials. A soft iron rod would be very effective.
The core of an electromagnet should not be made from steel because steel can retain magnetism and decrease the efficiency of the electromagnet by causing residual magnetism. Instead, materials like soft iron or iron alloys are preferred for electromagnet cores as they can be easily magnetized and demagnetized.
An electromagnet.

an electromagnet
The four essential parts of an electromagnet are the core (often made of iron), the coil of wire, a power source to provide electricity to the coil, and an electric current flowing through the coil.
it is made of iron and nickel
There are generally three main types of cores used in manufacturing: Sand cores - made of sand and binder, used in sand casting. Shell cores - made of resin-coated sand, used in shell molding. Ceramic cores - made of ceramic material, used in investment casting.
increase the current on the electromagnet

No, the electromagnet is not made weaker by making the core larger. It can be made weaker by decreasing its current and/or turns of coil.
Oxygen is made all the time in the cores of stars.
No, a toothpick is not a part of an electromagnet. An electromagnet is typically made up of a coil of wire wrapped around a core material such as iron, while a toothpick is simply a small stick made of wood or plastic.
