A relay is made up of a coil with an iron core and a movable iron bar. The movable iron bar in a relay is called a switch.
Soft iron core
In a moving coil galvanometer, soft iron core intensifies the magnetic field through it. this causes maximum number of magnetic field lines to pass through the coil.
electromagnets
Iron core (usually soft iron core) is a highly ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials allows (and attracts) the magnetic field lines to pass through it. When such a material is used in the electromagnet, the magnetic field lines passing through it increases, thereby, the strength of the electromagnet increases. So my friend, I hope you are satisfied with the answer.
because it can magnetize and demagnetize easily

It has been found that if a soft iron rod called core is placed inside a solenoid, then the strength of the magnetic field becomes very large because the iron core is magnetized by induction The core of the electromagnet must be of soft iron because soft iron loses all of its magnetism when current in the coil is switched off or stopped

No, the core has to be a soft iron core.

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.
Soft iron does not retain magnetism. It can be magnetised and demagnetised quickly and easily. Used as a core for transformers. 'Soft' probably relates to it's submission, when exposed to magnetism. It 'gives in' without too much fuss.
