can someone pls tell me the proper definition of "resistivity" as per class 10. pls note that i do not want mathematical or formula defination.

Resistivity is just a property of conductor

Resistivity is a measure of the resistance of a given size of a specific material to electrical conduction.
Although materials resist the flow of electrical current, some are better at conducting it than others.The resistivity is a figure that enables comparisons of the way in which different materials allow or resist current flow.
To enable resistivity figures to be meaningful, specific units are used for resistivity, and there are formulas for calculating it and relating it to the resistance in Ohms for a given size of material.
Materials that conduct electrical current easily are called conductors and have a low resistivity. Those that do not conduct electricity easily are called insulators and these materials have a high resistivity.
Resistivity definition & units
The electrical resistivity of a specimen of a material may also be known as its specific electrical resistance. It is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current.
Resistivity definition:
The resistivity of a substance is the resistance of a cube of that substance having edges of unit length, with the understanding that the current flows normal to opposite faces and is distributed uniformly over them.
The electrical resistivity is the electrical resistance per unit length and per unit of cross-sectional area at a specified temperature.

The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm⋅metre (Ω⋅m). It is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ, rho.
Although the SI resistivity unit, the ohms metre is generally used, sometimes figures will be seen described in terms of ohms centimetres, Ω⋅cm.
Resistivity formula / equation
The resistivity of a material is defined in terms of the magnitude of the electric field across it that gives a certain current density. It is possible to devise an electrical resistivity formula.
ρ=EJρ=EJ
Where:
ρ is the resistivity of the material in ohm metres, Ω⋅m
E is the magnitude of the electric field in volts per metre, V⋅m^-1
J is the magnitude of the current density in amperes per square metre, A⋅m^-2
Many resistors and conductors have a uniform cross section with a uniform flow of electric current. It is therefore possible to create the more specific, but more widely used electrical resistivity formula or equation:
