Bauxite is an igneous rock.
Bauxite is primarily classified as a sedimentary rock. It forms through the weathering and leaching of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical and subtropical environments, typically through the process of laterization. While it can contain minerals that are derived from igneous sources, its formation process does not involve igneous or metamorphic processes.
No, granite is harder than bauxite. Granite is a type of igneous rock that is known for its durability and hardness, while bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is softer in comparison.
Gibbsite is a mineral form of aluminum hydroxide that is commonly found in the weathered zones of bauxite deposits. Bauxite itself is a sedimentary rock created through the weathering of aluminum-rich rocks in tropical climates. So, gibbsite is associated with sedimentary rocks.

Bauxite's chemical formula ends with Oxygen, (Al2O32H2O) making it an oxide.
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
