hello ashim,
iron is an integral part of hemoglobin molecule.
hemoglobin is made up of heme plus globin and iron is a part in the heme molecule.
less iron in the body leads to decreased or improper formation of hemoglobin and leads to a condition ccalled iron deficience anemia.
i hope i have answered your query.
take care
