during a thunderstorm, the electric charge built up in the clouds becomes unbalanced. to become balanced again it disperses the energy to whatever it is closest to or a good conductor. (such as a lightning rod or a tree) sort of like a giant static shock.
A lightning rod is an electric conductor. Its purpose is to safely conduct the electrical charge from a lightning strike to the ground, thus protecting the structure it is attached to.

lightning is attracted to the taller objects in any open space .so being near tall trees in an open space is dangerous. The lightning can "jump" from the tree through the air to your body if it finds that your body, with its high salt content, is an easier conductor.
Lightning Conductor - film - was created in 1938.
The Lightning Conductor - 1914 was released on: USA: May 1914

A conductor is metals... lightning is electricity.
Lightning harns a tree by harming the roots of a tree and that affects how the tree grows
Air becomes a conductor of electricity when it becomes ionized, meaning the air molecules have gained or lost electrons, creating charged particles capable of carrying an electric current. This typically occurs in conditions of high voltage, such as during a lightning strike or in high-voltage equipment.

it came about when Benjamin Franklin wanted to prove that lightning is electricity
Air can become a good conductor when it is ionized, meaning its atoms and molecules become charged. This can happen due to high temperatures, exposure to radiation, or electrical discharges like lightning. When air becomes a good conductor, it allows electricity to flow easily through it, leading to phenomena like lightning strikes and electrical arcs.
