A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.

Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through it

A conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.

In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.

A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.
