Baking soda is the inorganic compound NaHCO3.
It is inorganic as the carbon is completely oxidized (as in CO2, though a few reduced carbon compounds - carbon monoxide, cyanide, and carbides, to name several - are also considered inorganic).
Most sodium bicarbonate is produced by adding carbon dioxide to a solution of sodium carbonate (which is mined as trona or produced via the Solvay process):
Na2CO3 + CO2 + H2O ----> 2NaHCO3
A little bit of sodium bicarbonate is mined as the mineral nahcolite.
