Ferrofluids get their name because they contain iron particles. Ferrum if Latin for iron, so anything that Hass ferro is its name probably has something to do with iron.

The spikes you see when you put a magnet near Ferrofluids results from the iron particles trying to align themselves with the magnetic field of the magnet.
