Silicon is an element, and was created in a star by fusion processes. Elements up to the mass of iron may be made in a star like our sun. For heavier elements, the energies found in a supernova are needed. Therefore, all of you comes from a star!!!
Earth formed by accretion from bits of rubble that began as the gas & dust clouds of ancient supernovas.
