A star begins its life as a ball of gas and dust. Gravity pulls the gas and dust into a spere. As the sphere becomes denser, it gets hotter and eventually reaches temperature of about 10,000,000 Celsius in its center. As hydrogen combines into helium, energy is released in a precess called neclear fusion.

Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?
No, a protostar is basically the BEGINNING of a star's life cycle.
What is a star called before it is born?
A star is called a protostar before it begins nuclear fusion in its core and officially becomes a star. During this stage, a protostar is formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust, as gravity pulls material together and heats up the core.
How long does a protostar live?
A protostar will live as long as 100,000 years. After material stops falling on the protostar it will enter then T Tauri star phase.
When does a protostar become a star?
The basic idea is that the protostar contracts, under the influence of gravity, until it gets dense and hot enough to undergo nuclear fusion. You can find more details at the Wikipedia article "Protostar".
What is matter from nebula that has begun to condense under the weight of gravity to begin formation of star?
The matter from a nebula that has begun to condense under gravity to form a star is called a protostar. As gravity causes the protostar to contract, the core temperatures rise until nuclear fusion ignites, and a star is born. This marks the transition from a cloud of gas and dust to a shining star.
Are protostar a star?
A protostar is more like a stage previous to a star - before it ignites.
