Is an iron object heavier than that of wood?

Is an iron object heavier than that of wood? OR Why is 1cm cubed of wood lighter than 1 cm cubed of iron?

Because centimeters cubed is a unit of volume, not weight. The two might take up the same amount of space, but iron is much denser and as such weighs more.Density = $\frac{(Mass of a substance)}{(volume of the substance)}$  OR  D=$\frac{m}{v}$
