Because it has a minor third (eg in C minor scale, C-E flat is a minor third interval), and a minor 6th (again in c minor, C -A flat is a minor 6th). This creates the correct pattern for TSTTST1/2S
Simply a minor scale
The Tonic
The third scale degree is called the mediant.
The third note of a diatonic scale is called the "mediant." In the context of a major scale, it is typically a major third above the root note, while in a minor scale, it is a minor third above the root. The mediant plays a crucial role in defining the tonality of the scale.
The first note of a major or minor scale is called the tonic note. For example: for C major, the first note (or tonic note) is C; for a minor, the first note (or tonic note) is a.

I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.

Yes, when the melodic minor scale descends, it is the same as the harmonic minor scale.
The main difference between a minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that the harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh note compared to the natural minor scale. This alteration creates a unique sound and adds tension to the music.
The harmonic minor scale is in the minor mode.
The scale that includes all black keys on the piano is called the D minor scale.
