Good question and you are quite correct.
However, in terms of the existence of the Human species they are indeed non-renewable. Fossil fuels are made from the remains of organisms that lived tens or hundreds of millions of years ago and the remains have taken all of geological time to accumulate in the ground to the point where we can effectively extract them.
I suppose if we waited a few more hundreds of millions of years, present life may have accumulated enough to replenish the fossil fuel supply, but for humanity once we have used all that exist now, they are gone.
There are a great many different types of natural resources that could be considered. These natural resources include fresh water.
Renewable resources are those resources which can renewed or replenished. For example, solar and wind power are unlimited and no matter how much they are used, they can be replenished. Non-renewable resources are those resources which cannot be replenished as they are limited.For example, fossil fuels and minerals are non-renewable resources because they are limited and their continuous exploitation is not good as then there won't be any of them left.

nonrenewable resources
nonrenewable: helium?, crude oil, salt, coal, natural gasrenewable: wind, sun
Coal, petroleum and natural gas took millions of years to form. Which is why they are classed as non-renewable resources.

What are nonrenewable resources? Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that cannot be replenished within a short timeframe due to their limited quantity, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. What are renewable resources? Renewable resources are natural resources that can be replenished naturally over time, such as sunlight, wind, and biomass, making them sustainable for long-term use. Why are nonrenewable resources considered unsustainable? Nonrenewable resources are finite in quantity and take millions of years to form, making them unsustainable for continued use at the current rate of consumption, leading to concerns of depletion and environmental damage. How do renewable resources differ from nonrenewable resources in terms of environmental impact? Renewable resources generally have lower environmental impact compared to nonrenewable resources, as they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions and have minimal pollution during extraction, production, and consumption.
