Answer / harsh
Cadmium has a high thermal neutron absorption cross section (probability). Therefore Cadmium rods will absorb neutrons, making them unavailable to cause fissions. There are also other properties that make cadmium a good control rod material. Things like, it's solid and doesn't dissolve in hot water but mostly it's the cross section thing.

Answer / sudhish bhatt
cadmium rods are provided in nuclear reactors because when
we start nuclear reacter then more energy is requird for
start the reacter ,we can not start nuclear reacter with
less energy , the rod is used specially for stopping
contact of newtron particls with the system
