'thread' is the definition.
(I know that thread can be written as string)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for string that I've seen before include "Suspend" , "Collective noun for racehorses trained together" , "It's difficult to say how long a piece of it is" , "Something for tying up" , "Thread; sequence" .)
