Amber is tree sap that hardened millions of years ago (in the usual way sap released from a tree hardens) then was fossilized.

Amber is made of resin. Resin is the semi-solid amorphous organic substance secreted in pockets and canals through epithelial cells of the plant.

Why is Amber not a rock or a mineral?

A mineral is a naturally occurring homogeneous solid with a definite chemical composition and ordered crystalline structure. Amber is not a mineral, because it has an organic origin and amorphous structure. Amber is a soft, sticky fossilized tree resin, which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since ancient past. I know about this from Drfinejewels.com, which is a good site providing different types and colors of amber stone.
