It is a conductor with moderate resistance. Thus it finds it's use in the field of electronics as a Resistor which reduces voltage/amperage in circuitry. It also has a high melting temperature, thus useful in the welding industry as a core for copper- clad Arc Gouging rods.
Carbon is a poor conductor of electricity. In its pure form, carbon is considered an insulator. However, carbon can be engineered to conduct electricity when it is in the form of graphite or graphene.
As regards electrical conduction, if the carbon rod is graphite, it's a conductor. If the carbon rod is diamond, it's an insulator. We have to specify the allotrope of carbon used to make the rod to discover whether it's an insulator or conductor.
A matchstick is an insulator of electricity because it is made primarily of wood, which is a poor conductor of electricity.
Toothpaste is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well because it is not a good conductor of heat or electricity.
A seashell is typically considered an insulator because it does not easily conduct electricity. The material of the seashell is not a good conductor of electricity due to its high resistance.

Tar is a conductor of electricity. This is because tar contains carbon black. Carbon though not a metal is capable of conducting electricity.
An insulator.

conductor
yes, it is not exactly conductor & insulator but it vary's how much of electrons are present in it.

Paper is an insulator of electricity.
Wood is an insulator.
An insulator for heat and (less so) for electricity. A conductor for sound and vibration.
