Jupiter has a rock and metal core the same size as Earth's core. However, due to the intense pressures of Jupiter's, it's core is about 10 times heavier than Earth's core. It's position in the early Solar System, which was further from the Sun than the small inner planets like Earth, Mars and Venus allowed it to accrete more matter because it was beyond the frost line. The frost line was a point at which hydrogen compounds could condense. These condensed materials were then available to become part of the outer planets. It also explains why these planets are more gaseous and less dense than the inner planets, where only rocks and heavier metals could condense in the intense heat of the sun. That is why there are rocky planets nearer the Sun and gas giants further out.

Does Jupiter have core?
Hypothetically, yes. I probably has a small silicate rock and ice core. This is likely because all of Jupiter's moons have a similar core.
