There are three basic categories of meteorites. The easiest ones to recognize were the iron or nickel-iron meteorites; most of the others look pretty much like rocks, but before people knew how to smelt iron, nickel-iron meteorites really stood out.
Another type is the stony meteorites, subdivided into chondrites and achondrites... as you might guess from the name, they're made of rock. The chondrites contain small round particles called chondrules, the achondrites don't.
Finally, there are the stony-iron meteorites, which are partly rock and partly metal.

How is the composition of a meteorite relevent to finding the composition of the earths core?
meteorites are considered leftovers from the solar system's formation. Since scientists think planets and meteorites were made at the same time and in the same place, it seems logical that whatever a meteorite is made of is also what planets are made of.
