To get an even burn through the full length of the propellant. Also, burning from the inside out keeps the propellant tube from overheating. A crack in the propellant would cause a burn to the tube wall and rupture before all the propellant is consumed.

Yes, comets have cores, also known as nuclei, which are typically made up of ice, rock, and organic compounds. The icy nucleus is the solid center of a comet that remains intact as it travels through space, with a coma and tail forming as the comet approaches the Sun.

Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer as propellants, while solid-propellant rockets use a solid chemical mixture as propellant. Both types of rockets rely on these propellants to generate thrust for propulsion.
Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.

The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
