Why are meteroites considered important clues to the composition of the Earth's interior?

[xavier p]

the earth and meteorites have the same provenance... same material floating through space, a bunch of them happened to merge together, and as it gets larger/more massive the gravity attracts more and more things together, and finally we get earth

so meteorites could be thought as earths cousin

if we know their composition it might clue us in on ours

Asteroids - the parent bodies of most meteorites - originated at the same time as the Sun, Earth, and other planets. The examination of the fragments of asteroids that land here as meteorites may hold clues to the raw materials that formed our planet and the secrets of its core.
