Iron can be used to get copper from Copper Sulfate because it is more reactive than Copper (higher up in the reactivity series).
Iron is more reactive than copper
Since copper sulfate does not contain any iron it cannot be used as an iron suppliment. Copoer sulfate only contans copper, sulfer, and oxygen and has the formula of CuSO4
Since iron (Fe) is more reactive than copper (Cu) it will be 'plated' with copper when the metal iron is stuck in copper sulfate solution. Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) + [SO42-]aq ---> Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) + [SO42-]aq
The anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is white, the pentahydrate is blue.Iron is gray.
Iron is a more active metal than copper, so it replaces/displaces the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate and copper. So the hole in the iron pot is where the iron atoms came from. This is called a single replacement/displacement reaction.

Iron is more reactive than copper
The iron will react with the copper sulfate, producing iron sulfate and elemental copper.

Because iron is a more reactive metal than copper.
The iron is higher in they reactivity scale than copper , Therefore the copper will be replaced by iron to make iron sulfate and copper by itself.
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
iron + copper sulphate ''goes to'' iron sulphate + copper
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.
