How it's used
Used primarily in formal or professional contexts to describe the most essential part of a system or organization. While it translates to core, it sounds more academic or business oriented than everyday words like 關鍵 or 重點. It is frequently paired with nouns related to structure or strategy.
Examples
This is the core issue of the whole matter.
He is a core member of the team.

Common mistake
