The resistance of a human body changes, you can divide it in 3 groups: dry body, semi-wet body (sweat,...) and wet body (in a swimming pool,...) the more wet the body becomes, the lower the resistance.
When the skin is wet, the electrical resistance of the human body decreases significantly, making it easier for electricity to flow through the body. This can increase the risk of electric shock and serious injury or even death. Wet skin provides a more conductive path for electricity to travel, bypassing the body's natural resistance mechanisms.

No, the human body is not made of Ohmic material. Ohmic materials have a linear current-voltage relationship, which is not typically seen in biological systems like the human body. Biological tissues have complex electrical properties that are not accurately described by Ohmic behavior.
If the skin is dry it will offer more resistance. The resistance of the human body ranges from about 100 ohms if the body is soaked with salt water to about 5000,000 ohms if the skin is very dry. If we touch the two electrodes of a battery with dry fingers, completing the circuit from one hand to the other, we can expect to offer a resistance of a bout 100,000 ohms. We usually cannot feel 12 volts if we do this, though a 24 volts just barely tingles. If our skin is moist, however, 24 volts can be quite uncomfortable.

footing resistance is that resistance which could not harm human body while touching tower...and it is calculated by earth resistance tester
The skin has the highest resistance in the human body, followed by bones and cartilage. This resistance helps protect the internal organs and structures from damage caused by external factors like friction, impact, and infection.
The human body has more resistance than metal because it is composed of organic materials like water, proteins, and fats that are less conducive to the flow of electrons compared to the crystalline structure of metals. Additionally, the complexity and irregularity of biological tissues contribute to higher resistance.
The Skin
Yes, steel has a much lower resistance than the human body therefore it will conduct better.
