The above statement is true.
Zinc is used for galvanising Iron to protect it from rusting. Rusting is the process where the substance is gradually eaten up by air, moisture or chemical substances. Galvanization is the process of coating the surface of Iron or steel with a layer of zinc. Zinc is used because Zn corrodes faster than Iron protecting the Fe surface from corrosion.
