No, blood is not an element.

Blood is a complex mixture. According to the provided reference, blood consists of:

  • Various types of cells (e.g., white blood cells, red blood cells).
  • Proteins.
  • Plasma, which is mostly water.

Elements, by definition, are pure substances consisting of only one type of atom. Blood's composition of multiple components makes it a mixture, not an element.
