The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.
Iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper precipitates out of the solution by sticking to the iron. For example, if you have a test tube with a solution of copper (II) sulfate and put an iron nail into it, the iron will react with the solution to form iron (II) sulfate and the copper will come out of the solution and stick to the iron.
Copper sulphate is a blue coloured solution. As soon as you react it with iron, you will notice that the solution is turning into light green which means iron sulphate solution is forming. Iron being more reactive than copper displaces copper from its soluion.
The iron is a more active metal than copper, so the iron atoms in the nail replace the copper atoms in the copper sulphate solution, so it becomes iron sulfate. The copper atoms will start to build on the iron nail, as well.
Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.
The pink precipitate is finely divided copper, reduced to its metallic form by displacement from copper sulfate by iron, which is higher in the electromotive series than copper. Iron sulfate remains in solution.

When an iron nail is dipped in the copper sulfate solution then iron displaces copper from the copper sulfate because iron is more reactive than copper.

Iron is more reactive than copper
nothing will happen as i have done this experiment. I think it is because iron is more reactive than copper, so the copper can't take away the sulphate. but if you added the iron to a copper sulphate solution the product would be iron sulphate this reaction is called displacment.

The iron which is a more electrochemically active metal gets plated with copper and iron sulfate is formed

Copper is displaced by iron and deposited on the nail.
