Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Lighting conductor rod carry charges into its surface and neutralise the cloud continuously so if it gets broken from the mid, it will not work as efficiently as full rod was working but would be helpful in performing its normal functions.
Lightning rod - Wikipedia

Also, if the rod of a lightning conductor placed in a building breaks accidently in the middle and lightning strikes that building, it can cause tremendous damage to life and property as a number of high charges would easily find another conductive path through the building structure, such as building wiring, resulting in a fire or other tragedy.
