The sun is almost all Hydrogen and Helium, and not much else. Those are gasses on earth, but liquids at the surface of the sun. However, they’re under gravitational pressure that’s nearly 30 times that of Earth. In the center of the sun the temperature is off the charts, causing the H & He to deform to plasma.
Depending on a star’s size and life stage, the plasma recombines to any of the scores of elements found on earth:

I agree it's a very dirty Plasma as the sun creates a tremendous amount of electricity. Take a shovel full of dirt heat is up to 20 million deg F and run the electrical power of a nuclear power plant into the shovel full of liquid dirt. You got yourself a simulation of the suns plasma (although it would have a lot more electricity on the sun then what a power plant can do.)
