They don't specifically orbit the black hole. Stars orbit the Milky Way because in general, they are attracted to the other masses in the Milky Way. The supermassive black hole is only a tiny fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way. Well, you might say that they move around the black hole, but that's only because it happens to be there. Without they black hole, they would move around the center of the Milky Way anyway.

What is a real world example of an ellipse?
A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.A real-world example of an ellipse is the orbit of any object around another, when it is bound by gravitation - the Earth around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, two stars in a double-star system (around their center of mass), etc.
