No, it's not - there is no fire on the sun. The sun emits heat as a result of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei - they are not 'burning'.

Edited by The Cellar Door: 8/27/2016 5:36:50 AMActually, the academic community pretty much unanimously calls thermonuclear fusion, "burning," because it's easy than saying "thermonuclear fusion," or "stellar nucleosynthesis," over and over again. While hydrogen burning is completely different than the oxidization process that we conventionally refer to as "burning," the settings are so different it's not overly ambiguous to use the term to refer to thermonuclear fusion. While OP was referring to burning in the conventional sense, by which your reply is suitable, I just figured I'd chime in to say that it isn't exactly a misnomer if you were to refer to stellar nucleosynthesis as burning.

Cause why not?

Yes! Not all Plasma, is Fire. I've always found it fascinating how the ions act the same regardless what the, fuel source is...that much like the sun, flames follow magnetic fields and even conduct electricity. That's just plain awesome to me.
