Most stars are in a plasma state, where the electrons are stripped from their atomic nuclei, forming an ionized gas. Big collapsing stars enter a degenerate state of matter, where protons absorb electrons to form neutrons, and the neutrons are packed together so tightly not even neutrinos can shine through. Such neutron stars are essentially really, really big atoms, even though their physical volume might be less than that of our puny earth.

What is the state of matter that expands the least when heated?

The least compressible state of matter is a solid. But even solids may be compressed slightly.A Neutron Star consists of matter so compressed that it is now composed only of neutrons.And of course, in a Black Hole, things are more compressed again.But both neutron Star and Black Hole are degenerate matter - they are no longer considered ordinary matter.
