Manual Metal Arc Welding(MMAW) Also GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) The MIG wire carries electric current so it is considered the electrode. TIG the Tungsten is considered an electrode.
Your question is incomplete. Which process? Which electrode? What is the basemetal, which position? etc etc

Flux core arc welding
We were told 309 was the electrode of choice.
friction welding can be used to join dissimilar metal. Also depending on the metals most arc welding processes and oxy-fuel can used. It's just a matter of using the correct filler material or electrode.

The "2" in a 6027 electrode typically refers to the electrode classification. In this case, it indicates that the electrode is classified as a low-hydrogen, iron powder electrode. It specifies the type of welding process, position, and characteristics of the electrode.
The letters EN , on a welding electrode , indicate "electrode negative" , that is the electrode is to be used with a DC current , in the negative position, or polarity.
If you are referring to the small unusable piece of welding rod that is left after welding, most call it a electrode stub.
Flux core arc welding
MIG
welding rod is used without applying current through it while the other one is, current is passing thru it..i.e. Welding rods are used in TIG welding process while Electrodes (E6011, E6013, E7017..etc..) is used in SMAW process
how do you calculate welding electrode consumption
Argon welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create a welding arc. Argon gas is typically used as the shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This process is commonly used for welding non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and thin materials.

Metals and thermoplastics can be fused together by heating and melting them together, a process known as welding. Here, an electric arc is created using electric power, and the heat it produces melts the metals. Expert specialists fuse two components together by passing current through a workpiece using a welding electrode. This is the course of arc welding. Consumable or non-consumable electrodes are available. Gas tungsten arc welding is an option for non-consumable electrodes and gas metal arc welding for consumable electrodes.The metals that need to be welded, the welding process, and the environment in which the electrode will be used all play a role in the electrode selection…Read More
