Best Answer

Under normal circumstances, wood will burn first because it has a lower temperature of combustion than metal. That means a stick will catch fire and burn faster than a piece of steel pipe the same size. In fact, under those normal circumstances mentioned, the stick will burn and be reduced to ash while the steel pipe will not be affected. Many times structures will burn and the steel water pipes will be left only blackened after all the wood has been consumed by the blaze.

wood will burn faster because plastic grows it is like a body has a bone system

I don't know what 'bone system' is being refered to.

Some plastics burn much faster than wood; eg unmodified polystyrene burns vigorously.
