plasma is created because of the extreme pressure on the gases the star contains... these gas molecules rub and bash into each other and are so tightly together that light is given off.

Why are stars plasma?
There is a bit of a misconception here ... Plasma in itself is not a substance any more than "liquid" or "solid" or "gas" in itself is a specific substance. Plasma is a state of matter. Stars are hot glowing balls of gas in which intense pressure and heat (which results from the intense pressure) cause nuclear fussion. This causes them to glow. Many gases in the star are in the plasma phase, but they are not "made of plasma" so to speak. Stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, though white dwarves also contain carbon and stars even further in their life cycle contain iron.
