Hi Taha,

To import metadata regarding the account object you can use the below package.xml in conjunction with sfdx or ant.
  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>Account</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>
    <version>51.0</version>
</Package>

To import all the data you can use data loader.

Let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future.  

Thanks.

So when you retrieve the details using the above package.xml, you would be getting the details regarding the object these details are the once that are describing the object.

The above article has a table with the list of values you would be getting on retrieving the object.

you can try retrieving using the package.xml with sfdx, you can follow the below article to get the step by step instructions of how to do it:
