What is that secret element which is necessary for life

London . Scientists from Oxford University in Britain have identified the secret element for life on Earth. Scientists have claimed that iron is an important nutrient that is essential for the growth and flourishing of almost all life on Earth. Iron is the most abundant chemical element on Earth by mass alone. He also claimed that it is also the most essential element for life after oxygen.

Oxford researchers say that iron is also the fourth most common element in the Earth’s crust. He also told that iron is the element that forms most of the inner and outer core of our earth. The amount of iron in the Earth’s mantle is believed to lie between the crust and outer core and a layer of silicate rock. Due to these elements, our earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago from today.

According to the Oxford research team, this had a profound effect on the development of life on Earth. Researchers now claim to have discovered a process by which iron helped shape the evolution of complex life forms. All the findings of this research have been published in the science journal PNAS.
