You can insulate the hot water pipes with spiral-wrap fiberglass insulation, foam tube insulation, or fiberglass pipe covers. These will all help reduce heat loss.
Conduction.
Insulation reduces heat loss by replacing air space with a less conductive material (insulation). Therefore the answer is conduction.
They hold heat inside of the object NOOO! That's wrong ^ Insulation materials reduce heat loss because they are poor conductors. So please please don't put the first answer!
for instance, Heat loss through the roof of the house can be reduced by laying loft insulation. This works in a similar way to cavity wall insulation.

Installing fiberglass batting will completely eliminate heat loss.

the insulation keeps the heat from escaping 25% of heat lost through your household so insulation is a good thing to get

They both reduce heat loss in the house ;)

the thicker the insulation is then there will be less heat loss. The material also affects heat loss
Heat will always migrate through anything. The rate is the only thing we can control. Dead air space (motionless air) is the best natural insulator. Fiberglass insulation is used to try to trap as much air and hold it as motionless as possible. This is why you should never compress insulation; you're pushing out the trapped air.
