No core _is_ the Rust language, libcore is just a library which adds the "Rust abstractions" so you can actually write a for loop or create a slice or deref, add or anything else.

Libcore just gets compiled like any other rust crate just it does not have access to abstractions.

For example, you can still write C code without libc because C is a language libc is just a library libcore is pretty much the same. Though Rust makes alot of assumptions that libcore _should_ be there but its possible for it not to be.
