Why you should keep diskettes away from magnetic source?

Diskettes contain magnetic material that stores data. If they come into contact with a strong magnetic source, such as a magnet, it can disrupt the magnetic fields and corrupt the data stored on the diskette, rendering it unreadable. To protect the data integrity, it's important to keep diskettes away from magnetic sources.
