Aluminum is extracted from bauxite ore.
Aluminum metal can be extracted from bauxite ore through a process called the Bayer process. Bauxite is a major source of aluminum because it contains a high concentration of aluminum hydroxide minerals.
Bauxite is the natural ore from which aluminum is extracted.
Bauxite was first extracted in 1821 by Pierre Berthier in Les Baux-de-Provence, France.
It is so because metals cannot be extracted from minerals in a convenient way. E.g.:- Aluminum metal is found in both minerals: clay and bauxite. Aluminum metal is extracted only from bauxite in a convenient way. So, bauxite is an ore of aluminum. On the other hand, it is not extracted from clay so clay remains only as mineral not ore of aluminum.

It is the ore that aluminum is extracted from.
bauxite->alumina->aluminium
99% of aluminum is extracted from the ore bauxite.
No, aluminum comes from Bauxite.
Buaxite is the ore from which aluminum is extracted.
