The most common answer is "the bridge", however the strings are also supported by the nut which is at the top of the fingerboard. In addition, the strings are fastened at either end by the pegs and by the tailpiece.

What is the sound producer of a violin?
For a violin (or any string instrument in general), rubbing the bow across the metal strings is the source of the sound. Rubbing the bow across the string causes it to vibrate at a certain frequency, depending on the note that the string is tuned to. The strings themselves are not able to amplify themselves though, so the vibrations move through the wood. The upper piece of wood is made of very springy spruce, which vibrates with the string and amplifies it a bit, also changing the tone of the sound which is what we hear. The back is maple, which is strong and makes the sound even louder. Other parts of the instrument also play specific roles, but sound is generally produced by moving the string then amplifying it through the wood.
