Simple Answer: NO

Did you even look at the picture you posted? OP is talking about the public key.

It's in the picture did you read each part of the process ?
And the infographic shows the process.

It explains how a TX is created and confirmed, it does not explain how addresses are created.

Op's question was
Can a bitcoin address can be recovered from public key... If not so how is it related to bitcoin address???

The answer is NO

Your answer is wrong, same as 90% of others here that have no idea what they are talking about. The address is the hash the of public key. Of course anyone can hash the public key in the correct way and get the address. Thus the address can be "recovered" from the public key.

What you are possibly refering to is the private key. The chain goes one way like this:

private key -> public key -> address

not (!) the other way around

address -\> public key -\> private key

but thats not the question asked by OP.
