Conductors are any material that conducts the flow of electricity, which would include Copper. Insulators are any material that restricts the flow of electricity which would include plastic.

Why is there usually a plastic coating around a metal wire?

There are a number of reasons: If the wire is electrical then it is covered in plastic as plastic provides insulation, this means that if adjoining wires come into contact the electrical current would not cause a short circuit. Normally electrical wire is cooper as it is a good conductor of electricity and does not oxidize/ rust easily. Secondly wire hangers are covered in plastic to prevent the metal (normally mild steel) from rusting. If they were to rust, it would cause orange/ red stains on your clothes.
