Before we continue, Kekkai Genkai is a gifted ability to combine any 2 elements.

She is my favorite and one of the few people who can use 3 Elements. Water, Fire and Earth.

According to Yamato, Mokuton (Wood Release) is a Kekkai Genkai consisting of Water and Earth. People who has access to Mokuton, users is shown to have access to Earth and Water style.

Now why can't Mei use Mokuton? She is able to combine Water and Fire to make Steam or Mist, and she is able to combine Earth and Fire to make Lava.

Why can't she combine Earth and Water to make Wood Style.

Mokuton is just a combination of Earth and Water, pretty much like how Fire and Earth makes Lava, nothing special.
No, it is different, only some people with potential to use those lava tech. Mokuton is just like that. Just because she can use them doesn't mean she can use mokuton.

Kekkei Genkai translates to bloodline limit which means you have to have a certain bloodline to use a certain element doesn't matter if you can use the elements it's comprised of

Maybe you need Senju DNA (or at least Senju, Uzumaki, or clan with huge chakra reserve) to be use Moouton, or else nothing happens when you mix water and earth?
Either, if she does have it, it probably won't be useful in any way during the war. This war has been very biased. If you aren't Senju or Uchiha, you are probably fodder material.

Everyone knowing Kekkai Genkai cannot be copied it can only be passed down by DNA. Mokuton is nothing special like any other KG or KT.

The Kekkei Genkai ist the ability to combine 2 certain elements.

What Mei got is Lava Release and Steam Release. She has those 2 abilities.
Hashirama had the Mouton Kekkei Genkei.

It basically needs 2 things: You gotta have the 2 elements to be able to combine it, and you gotta have the ability it self to combine exactly those elements.

According to this, Mei has Water and Earth, but doesn't have the Kekkei Genkai Mokuton --> no mokuton.
On the other hand, Mei has Water and Fire, and has th Kekkei Genkai Steam (forgot the Japanese word) --> Steam!

i dont think that mokuton is just basic Earth and Water ... I personaly think there is more to it than just that ... Because if it was just that there should have been born another Mokuton user since there are a ton of people who can use Earth and Water in Narutoverse but yet only hashirama could use mokuton:) idk..

This dude said what I wanted to say before me, so it's pointless writing the same thing, read it well. :y

It's because to combine 2 elements a shinobi needs to have the right yin and yang combination to allow the two elements to fuse together. This was never throughlyexplained but it was mentioned when kakaswas teaching naruto about chakra affiliations. So because she can use lava and steam doesn't mean she can combine the water and earth elements with the correct amount of yin-yang mixture to complete mokuton.

Wanted to write that too U_U
That's it you have to have the ability to mix them not just possessing the elements...if she had wind she wouldn't be able to use jinton:) Kekkei Genkai is really special, not just knowing the two elements.
