Can magnetic fauna and flora on magnetic world knows gravity?

+0
−0

Imagine an Earth sized planet consists of only ferrous metals, the creatures living on the planet move around like a maglev train basically they interact with the world and among each other electromagnetically. I'm wondering since electromagnetic force is much much greater than gravitational force would the creature ever knows gravity is there, let suppose this steppenwolf planet is alone in a super void drifting through the emptiness of space and the inhabitants had managed to develop calculus. How can they know gravity?

Edit: the planet generate a powerful magnetic field of at least 10 tesla!
