Yeah sorry to be kinda pedantic but wood is not an element, it's just a material. And if we're talking rarity of materials there are undoubtedly much much rarer materials, like LK99 for instance.
In fact, even if we're talking elements themselves, there are elements with halflives of picoseconds. I can't know for sure but i'd bet those elements are more rare than wood. And since I'm extending the analogy, how do we know wood is the rarest? We can't really get a good look at exoplanets yet, they're still just fuzzy balls to us like pluto used to be. Trees could be an evolutionary essential step.
Anyways, it's a nice thought but could probably be phrased in a way to defeat pedants like me. Merry Christmas <3
