Heat would be transferred from hotter to colder region when one end of metal rod is hot. Conductivity is the property of the metal.
Explanation:
Conductivity is a phenomenon exhibited by the metals in which they allow heat to pass through them. Due to this reason, heat from the hotter region of the rod gets conducted into the colder region and thus the colder region also gets heated up exhibiting conductivity property.
