Electricity is energy.

Energy can be different things.

We have movement as an energy, kinetic energy that is.

Then there is, amongst others heat, as an energy.

Electricity must be in a circuit to work.

When putting the 9volt battery in the steel wool you make a circuit.

Then the electricity will flow through the steel wool.

When the electricity is not being used by anything (no light bulbs or anything), it is being converted to heat energy.

Steel wool burns easily, so the heat will easily ignite the steel wool.

Should a car battery be charged on wood?

It does not matter what the battery is sitting on. Concrete, wood, brick, dirt, etc. Makes no difference at all. It is not true that sitting a battery on concrete will drain it. Where does the battery sit in your car? It sits on a steel surface that is grounded. So charge it anywhere you want. Just remember that battery chargers have been know to catch on fire, so place the charger in a location where if that happens no damage will be done.
