for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
No,because electric field (force/charge) is a vector quantity, i.e. , it has both magnitude as well as direction.
Direction of the electric field vector is the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle in an external electric field.
Because to completely describe it you must know both how strong it is (magnitude) and in what direction it points.
