Why does electricity not flow in wood?

Electricity does not flow well through wood because wood is a poor conductor of electricity. The electrons in wood are tightly bound to the atoms, making it difficult for them to move freely and carry an electrical current. As a result, wood does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.
