i was also not able to understand why area is a vector quantity
but after reading d above i understood
clear your concept by reading theory then jump into questions

How the area is vector and volume is a scalar?
Area is NOT a vector.
Is area a derived quantity?
Yes, area is a derived quantity.
What is the physical quantity of area?
The physical quantity is simply called area. The official unit (in SI) is the square meter.
Field or Area of Accomplishment?
field area of accomplishment
What is curl in mathematical terms?
Curl represents the force of rotation in a 3-D vector field. Generally, the curl vector at a given point is the answer to the question, "What would happen if I stuck something there that could spin but couldn't move?" Unless the curl is zero, it would spin perpendicularly to the curl vector (according to the right-hand rule), and the longer the vector is, the faster. Curl is mathematically defined in a given direction as the limit of "circulation over area", i.e. the line integral of a circle around the point, divided by the area of the circle, with the circle shrinking towards the point. More practically, the actual vector can found by taking the cross product of the gradient operator with the function that defines the field: curl_x = ∂F/∂y - ∂F/∂z curl_y = ∂F/∂z - ∂F/∂x curl_z = ∂F/∂x - ∂F/∂y
