An iron roof would rust, and eventually leak. A stainless steel roof wouldn't rust, but it would be very expensive. There are cheaper water-proof materials. Tar-paper is popular because it is relatively cheap and very water-proof. The most usual kind of roof is wooden shingles on top of tar-paper, but there are several other kinds in use. Ceramic shingles work well. They are more expensive than wooden shingles but they are not only water-proof, but also fire-proof. Sheet metal actually is sometimes used, as long as it has a non-rusting coating, which is normally tin. A sheet of steel that is electroplated with tin will work. That's the kind of roof to which the title "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" refers. It's not pure tin, it's tin plating on steel.
