The core is the supporting part of the rope, the outer is the protective cover. It gives you a sick feeling when it happens but all is not lost! Given the core is mostly intact, even though it may be entirely showing, the rope is still very capable of supporting you to get safe, ie if you're leading, set a temporary top anchor (as best you can), inspect the rope as much as possible to find any core damage, if minor or none, retie above the damage and continue. If damaged (highly unlikely) arrange another rope to collect gear.
