Morphology
The meaning 'oil obtained from the seeds of the sunflower' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'sunflower' (a plant) + 'oil' (cooking fat); this noun–noun compounding follows a regular and productive pattern in English. The same logical construction exists in many languages (e.g., Spanish 'aceite de girasol', French 'huile de tournesol'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Sunflower oil is a literal name: it is the oil pressed from the seeds of the bright sunflower plant. So the term simply means 'a cooking oil' made from sunflower seeds.
