Hosea, Joel, Amos, right through to Malachi are all classed as minor prophets, even though their message from the Lord was vitally important (although often unheeded) and still in some cases relevant today.

Why are books in Bible from Hosea to Malaci called minor prophets?

"Minor" in this case refers to the length of their books, it has nothing to do with their importance. In fact, it doesn't actually refer to the prophet (the person) but to the prophetic book that bears their name. In the Hebrew Bible there were twelve smaller books bundled as one called the "Twelve". The Christian Bible presents these twelve as separate books and calls them the "Minor Prophets". The longer prophetic books of the Old Testament are called "Major Prophets" and are considerably more lengthy writings. The concept of major and minor prophets is Christian and is not a concept used by Jews.
