The bare copper conductor found in non metallic sheathed cable is the ground wire. On a wire count in a cable set the ground wire is never counted even though it is always there.
Romex is the trade name for non-metallic sheathed cable manufactured by Southwire Company, LLC.
No, the uninsulated conductor in nonmetallic-sheathed cable should only be used as the equipment grounding conductor. It should not be used for any other purpose to avoid creating a safety hazard.

NMD wire is a type of electrical wire commonly used in residential construction in Canada. It consists of two or three insulated copper conductors, with a PVC sheath for protection. NMD stands for Non-Metallic Sheathed Cable.
Cable sheath current is a current induced in the sheath by radio, magnetic or other interference, or a fault condition. The cable sheath should be grounded at one end so that this current flows to ground safely.
