Because iron has got all the properties of metal, such as malleability, ductility, electricity, and heat conducting property. It is also sonorous and lustrous. Wood doesn't have any of those properties. Rather it is non - ductile, non - malleable, a bad conductor of heat and electricity, non - lustrous, etc. That's why iron is a metal and wood is a non - metal. :]
