If you take one apart, you'll see that the reverse side of the plastic lens (the clear or red part) has been molded with hundreds of tiny pyramidal shapes. When light enters the reflector through the plastic, the angled sides of the pyramids act as tiny mirrors to reflect the light back out in different directions.
Actually the question asks how it is MADE. They are injection molded, you can tell this from the ejection pin marks found on the inside (or outside) surface. They are usually made from PMMA (acrylic).

Why car drivers can easily see bicycle reflectors in the beam from their headlights?
Car drivers can easily see bicycle reflectors in the beam from their headlights because reflectors are designed to bounce light back towards the source. When a car's headlights shine on bicycle reflectors, the light reflects directly back to the driver, making the reflectors highly visible. Additionally, the contrast between the bright reflection and the darker surroundings enhances visibility, allowing drivers to spot cyclists even in low-light conditions. This reflective property is crucial for cyclist safety on the road.
