Since classical magnetism is created by pushing an electrical charge through a conductor, you do have a conductor in the molten core. Possibly something in the movement of metallic atoms is generating the charge.

This fits with my understanding of the right hand rule of magnetic force, earth rotation and the magnetic north pole.
