A mirror is made out of glass.
Since light doesn't travel through a mirror, it is opaque.
On the back of a mirror is a thin layer of silver or chrome which is the reflecting surface. Behind this is backing which keeps the silver in place and keeps it from oxidizing.

Why does the focal length of a mirror not depend on the mirror material when the focal length of a lens does depend on the lens material?
The focal length for a mirror is determined by the law of reflection from the mirror surface. This law is not governed by the material that the mirror is made by. This means that the focal length depends only on the radius and curvature. Conversely, the focal length of a lens depends on the indices of refraction of the lens meterial and the surrounding medium.
