Copper or Aluminium' is used as a material for making connection wires because the resistivity of these materials is very small, and thus, wires made of these materials possess negligible resistance.
The connection wires are made thick so that their resistance can be considered as negligible.
R = ρ(I/a)
Therefore, greater the area of cross-section, lesser shall be the resistance.
