what is a “string” in bash? [duplicate]

i keep hearing people talking about “strings”?

what is a string? what are people talking about?

i keep hearing “enter a string” or “if your string this” or your “string that”?

what does it mean to enter a string in bash?

any help would be appreciated, i’m genuinely confused at what it’s supposed to mean

when i ask google it tells me “Bash String is a data type similar to integer or boolean. ” and i have no idea what this is supposed to mean

thank you
