The circulation of electrical currents in the magma, roughly parallel to the Equator, causes the Earth's magnetic Field. There is also a few% derived from the flow of the Solar Wind - a flow of charged particles from the Sun. [The interior of the Earth is over 5000 deg C, and much too hot to maintain a magnet. see Curie Point.]

Is mafic rocks in the mantle earths magntic field?

Mafic rocks in the mantle can contribute to Earth's magnetic field through the presence of minerals like magnetite that can become magnetized in aligning with the planet's magnetic field. However, the main driver of Earth's magnetic field is the movement of molten iron in the outer core.
