Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
An electric iron rod should not be touched barefooted when it is connected to the electricity. This is because of the fact that the human body is a good conductor of electricity. Also water is a good conductor of electricity. If the iron rod is touched barefoot, then the human body conducts the electricity from the iron rod and it might create an accident. So to avoid any accidental situation, it is advised to touch any electrical equipment along its insulation or with protection such as a footwear.
