Is the electrode the metal or graphite rod in an electric cell?

Tt depends on the metal which is the cathode and which is the anode. However, in most cases, graphite is the cathode and the metal is the anode. the strictly correct answer is that BOTH the metal and the graphite rod are electrodes. You must have two electrodes minimum to create a cell.
