Whether the current flows in the wire or in the rod depends on

A thin wire has greater inductance and impedance per unit length than
a thick rod.


True, the rod having a resistance by far higher than that of the copper wire, I would believe that current will anyway pass through the wire, despite its lower diameter.

Actually if the rod conducts it will share the current flow according to
the law or parallel resistance.
