Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'rolling' (the process of shaping by rollers) with 'mill' (a facility or machine for processing materials): it denotes a mill where rolling is performed. This is a regular noun-noun compound following common English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Rolling mill is named for what it does: metal is pushed and pressed between heavy turning rollers, so the metal is literally rolling between them, and a mill is a place with big machines that shape material. So a rolling mill is a factory or machine that makes metal sheets and bars by 'rolling' them.
