Physicists believe in the physical reality of the presence of strings, since they believe in the physical reality of every other particle and type pf energy present in the Universe...and they think that strings are the basic building blocks of everything else.
Even if they are "fundamental", why would you stop at wanting to know what they're made of?? What is "fundamental" in the first place?? If something is made of something, then what is that other "something"??
So, if a string is made of "pure energy", what is that energy?? What is it made of?? That also brings up the point...what/when do you call something as being "fundamental"??

Hmmm this can evolve into a deep philosophical discussion.
How does one define a force (both real and fictitious) in this context.
Therefore does it make any sense to ask what W and Z bosons are made out of?
