Depending on context, both elements and components can be used interchangeably.
Components always usually refer to parts, or sections. They may also refer to devices or electronics.
"The machine has 7 different components."
"Hand me that component."
An element, like a component, refers to a part or basic building block, but unlike component, usually refers to something natural or organic. Note; both component and element can be interchanged depending on your writing style.
"There are many elements involved in making the human nervous system."
"This rock is made up of few elements."
Note how element and component can be interchangeable in these next sentences:
"This phone has many delicate elements inside."
"This phone has many delicate components inside."
"The wiring element caught on fire last night."
"The wiring component caught on fire last night."
There are times where element will obviously be used in exclusive situations. Element can refer to the elements found in nature.
It is correct to say:
"We breath the element oxygen."
But considered incorrect to say:
"We breath the component oxygen."
