There are two possibilities. The string hanging when you crack an egg into the pan or bowl when cooking is the inner membrane. This is the lining between the albumen and the shell and is attached to the inner shell. It often hangs from the broken shell after the rest of the egg has dropped into the dish.

The white stringy thing in the egg next to the egg yolk is called the chalazae. This is a strand of protein that centers they egg yolk in the albumen (the egg white) The freshest eggs have two, most store bought eggs have only one visible if any as they fade away as the egg grows stale.

The cord or stringy looking thing in the egg white is called the chalazae, the fresher the egg the stronger or more pronounced the chalazae, it's purpose is to support the egg yolk in the centre of the egg.

It is called chalaza and is a protein strand that helps keep the egg yolk centered in the albumen (egg white). It is more apparent in fresher eggs. There are two of them in a fresh egg.

The yoke is in the middle. If you cook it the heat needs to go through the white to get to the yoke. In the process you will cook the white of the egg. You could try removing the yoke cooking it then place it back in the uncooked whites. Not sure why you would want to though.

What is the white part in the inside of an egg?

Egg white is the common name for the clear liquid (also called albumin/albumen or glair(e)) contained within an egg. It is the cytoplasm of the egg, which until fertilization is a single cell. It consists mainly of about 10% proteins dissolved in water. Its primary purpose is to protect the egg yolk and also to provide additional nutrition for the growth of the embryo, as it is rich in proteins and is of high nutritional value. Unlike the egg yolk, it contains little fat.
