plasma

Noun B2 – Upper-Intermediate

A hot, electrically charged gas-like state of matter, or the pale yellow liquid part of blood that carries cells and nutrients.

"The sun is made almost entirely of plasma rather than solid, liquid, or ordinary gas."

'Plasma' has two unrelated common meanings, one in physics and one in biology, so context makes clear which is meant.
