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.
For a 14 AWG non-metallic sheathed cable (NM cable), the minimum size equipment ground conductor required is typically a 14 AWG copper conductor or a 12 AWG aluminum conductor. This is in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines, which ensure adequate grounding for safety. Always check local codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements that differ from the NEC.
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.

Electrical Sheathing is various forms of metallic or non-metallic covering over conductors. Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable is what is known by the brand name Romex.
For 14/2 NM cable, a 14 AWG equipment grounding conductor is used.
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.
