If I understand the question correctly, you are referring to the layers of a massive star as it nears the end of it's life.
When a massive star nears the end of it's life, it runs out of hydrogen, the outward pressure that has kept it stable for most of it's life, is no longer there, this causes a collapse. This collapse, causes the core to heat up and helium is then fused.
This process repeats several times; each time the core collapses, and the collapse is halted by the ignition of a further process involving more massive nuclei and higher temperatures and pressures.
This creates the onion effect, a distinct layer of different fusing, with the lighter - or easier fused" elements towards the edge.
