In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly to the ground wire of the electrical supplier. The panel box is then grounded through the neutral bus to an Earth ground via a wire and rod driven into the ground.

A floor rod is a 5/8" diameter rod pushed flush with the soil. A clamp is located on the rod and a #6 bare copper( 2 hundred Amp residential provider) is attached from the clamp to the foremost panel on a floor buss. So your assertion is technically actual.

If you have to ask about this, you do not need to be messing with the wiring in your home--or anyone else's. The grounding of a building's electrical system is one of the most important safety features; the ground fault interuption circuits are just as important. Leave this to a professional.
