It's like making sausage or piping icing on a cake. If a general shape lends itself to "continuous" production, then it can be extruded. Plastic soda straws are a slam dunk example. A die on the end of a nozzle (connected to a hot reservoir of plastic) permits a continuous tube of cooling plastic to come out (be forced out), and it is cut into lengths and wrapped after enough heat is radiated off. Piece of cake.

Are extrusions older or younger than rock layers they cut throgh?

Extrusions are younger than the rock layers they cut through. This is because extrusions, such as volcanic lava flows, occur after the formation of the existing rock layers. When molten rock erupts and flows over the surface, it solidifies and forms new material that overlays the pre-existing layers. Thus, the relationship in geological time indicates that extrusions are a more recent event compared to the older rock formations they penetrate.
