Because I said so
Because steel remains magnetised

Iron is a better core material than steel for applications that require high magnetic permeability due to its higher saturation magnetization. This makes iron cores more efficient in transferring magnetic fields. Additionally, iron cores have lower hysteresis losses compared to steel cores.
Hysterisis losses are the losses which are taking place in the iron or steel core due to reversal of magnetisation of steel core.
Stainless steel is stronger and retards rust unlike iron
It depends on what you want to use it for. On the Moh's scale, steel is somewhere between 4 and 4.5, whereas iron is between 6 and 7. In swords, both iron and steel kinds have appeared, but steel is slightly better than iron due to its strength-to-weight ratio and its flexibility. Keep in mind, steel--unlike iron--is made of different metals to improve its strength. For piping, steel would be better (but not the first choice among other materials to use). Steel is also more resistant to rust, than iron, and the weldability of steel is better than iron.
Yes, pure iron generally conducts electricity better than steel because steel is an alloy that contains iron and carbon. The carbon in steel can reduce its electrical conductivity compared to pure iron.
Steel is refined iron. It's usually stronger (=better) than steel for most uses.
Soft iron has a greater permeability than steel. BTW, the only reason for laminations is to reduce eddy currents in the core. It has no effect on permeability or inductance.
You need to refine your question. Iron and stainless steel both have uses, and so one cannot be deemed "better."
Steel is an alloy if iron, consisting mainly of iron. Steel is both stronger and lighter than iron so is more efficient to use in buildings and other structures.
Cast Iron does not rust or corrode as steel can
The three important ingredients for making steel are coal, iron core, and limestone. Because steel contains iron, it is very common for it to develop iron oxide, or rust.
steel is really iron in the game they don't say flint and iron they say flint and steel because steel sounds better.
