I would have assumed all of the material in the solar system didn't come from our sun?

Other than what's been blown off the sun as solar wind.

I mean, Earth didn't originate from material from the stella explosion of Sol.

All of the material in the Solar System - sun and planets - formed from the same original cloud of atoms. This cloud itself included atoms generated by earlier generations of stars. The different elemental composition of the Sun and planets was partly driven by the physics of processes operating as the system matured.

The sun is a second generation star, that is it formed out of earlier stars who did make those heavier elements.
