A lightning rod  or lightning conductor is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightningstrike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals or strike termination devices.
In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copperand aluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.

$\huge\red{your \: answer}$

➡️The lightning conductor provides a very low resistance path between the top of the lightning conductor rod via a substantial strip of metal to the ground so that the current as a result of a lightning strike does not flow through the building to which it is attached.

However that is not the end of the story in that the electrical length of the lightning conductor rod can be thought of a being larger than its physical length.
