We analyze the quantum Fisher information (QFI) and entanglement of the ground state for the XY model. The QFI determines the precision in parameter estimations, moreover, it is a criterion of entanglement. The scaling behaviors of the QFI are studied both at the critical point and in different phases. In the symmetry-broken phase, the QFI scales proportional to the square of the system size, while in the symmetric phase, it is nearly independent of the system size. The study of QFI not only reveals the distinct entanglement properties of the XY model in different phases, but also shows that the ground state of the XY model can be used to perform Heisenberg-limit parameter estimation.
