Answer by Liana t. Confidence votes 18. There are 10 syllables in an iambic pentameter because iambic means the 1st syllable is not stressed but the 2nd one is stressed; kinda of like a heart beat (da-DUM da-DUM).
Rhythmic variation Edit. Although strictly speaking, iambic pentameter refers to five iambs in a row (as above), in practice, poets vary their iambic pentameter a great deal, while maintaining the iamb as the most common foot. There are some conventions to these variations, however. Iambic pentameter must always contain only five feet, and the second foot is almost always an iamb. The first foot, on the other hand, is the most likely to change by the use of inversion, which reverses the order of the syllables in the foot.
