Metal are mostly good conductors of heat
insulator, a conductor is usually metal. thats why the handles of pots and pans are made of plastic and wood

Cheap pans are usually made of aluminum because it is inexpensive. Other metals and materials are actually better and healthier for cooking in, but they cost more, which means the pans cost more.
Pans are placed over a flame and not on the side of the flame, because it is an energy transfer by direct contact called conduction. And as you can see, pans are usually made of metals, wherein metals are a good conductor of heat unlike wood, which is a poor conductor of heat.

because different metals are better and worse heat conducters
The fact that they are made from metals.
Wood handles are used for pots and pans because they will not burn your hand while cooking. Wood handles on pots and pans can often be replaced as needed so a complete replacement is not necessary.
A saucepan is a style of stove top cooking pot with high sides and usually comes with a lid. It can be made out of metals (like stainless steel/coppper) or glass (like Pyrex) the same as cooking pans.

Aside from metal, glass may be found in pots and pans; primarily in lids. This is a very useful material for the lids of cooking pots/pans, as it allows one to see the contents of the pot/pan, and is a good insulator of heat.
