Because its stronger
Yes, iron can displace copper from solutions of its salts through a displacement reaction. Iron has a higher reactivity than copper, so it can replace copper in the salt solution, forming iron salts and copper metal.
Iron is commonly used to reclaim copper from a used copper chloride solution through a displacement reaction. When iron is added to the solution, it reacts with the copper ions to form iron chloride and copper metal, allowing the copper to be easily recovered.

Copper sulfate is added after the acid is used up to test for any excess unreacted iron in a redox reaction. In the presence of excess iron, copper sulfate reacts with the iron to form a distinct blue color (copper precipitates as copper(I) oxide). This color change indicates the end point of the reaction, helping to determine when all the iron has been used up.
Iron is more reactive than copper
No, it was not.
Iron is more reactive than copper, so when iron is added to copper sulfate solution, iron displaces copper in the reaction and forms iron sulfate. This process is known as a displacement reaction. This allows copper to be extracted from copper sulfate solution using iron.

Since iron (Fe) is more reactive than copper (Cu) it will be 'plated' with copper when the metal iron is stuck in copper sulfate solution. Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) + [SO42-]aq ---> Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) + [SO42-]aq
Copper sulfate is not used as an iron supplement. It is a source of copper, which is a different nutrient necessary for various biological processes in the body. Iron supplements typically contain forms of iron such as ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate.

Iron can displace copper in a chemical reaction because it is a more reactive metal. When iron is added to a copper sulfate solution, the iron atoms will replace the copper atoms in the solution, forming iron sulfate and causing copper metal to be deposited. This process is known as a displacement reaction.
Iron is more reactive than copper, allowing it to displace copper from copper sulfate solution through a single displacement reaction. This process forms iron sulfate and solid copper metal, as iron has a higher affinity for sulfate ions than copper does.
Contacting the iron powder with an aqueous solution of copper (II) salts will produce a copper coating on iron powder: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than copper and therefore will displace copper from the solution, resulting in copper-coated iron and dissolved iron cations. When all of the surface of the iron powder has been coated with copper, the iron will stop reacting because it no longer has access to the copper ions in solution, the access of the iron being blocked by the layer of copper coating the remaining iron powder.
