Suppose there is a distribution $D$.
$x$ is extracted directly from $D$.
$s = (a_1,a_2,dots,a_n)$ is $n$ samples i.i.d from $D$.
then extract a sample $y$ from $s$.
Can $y$ be interpreted as being extracted directly from $D$?
I mean, $x$ and $y$ have same meaning?

It sounds like you are asking something like "Is the probability that you get an ace of spades you select a single card from a standard deck of cards the same as the probability that you get an ace of spades if you select a single card from a hand of several cards which itself was randomly selected from a standard deck of cards." If that is what you are asking, the answer is yes. It is difficult to tell if this is what you are trying to get at due to several grammatical errors and lack of clarity when trying to get concepts across.

Yes. It matters not how many sample you generate.
Since each set of samples in $(a_k)_{1leq kleq n}$ is selected independently and identically from $D$ (ie with replacement after each sampling), therefore it does not matter which sample you select $y$ from, it has the same probability of having a particular identity as if you had selected it dirrectly from from $D$.
Take a standard deck of 52 cards. Draw a hand of five cards, record it as $a_1$, replace it, shuffle and draw another, recording it as $a_2$, and so forth. Among $n$ such drawings you pick an index from 1 to $n$ without bias, then select one of the cards in that indexed hand. The probability that that card is the ace of clubs is: $1/52$, exactly as if you had drawn a single card straight from the deck.
