I would think it would have a somewhat rocky core, if for no other reason than all the comets, asteroids, and debris it’s pulled in from the solar system, no?
(not an expert in any way) If anything survived the entry burn would eventually pass into the region about 1/4 of the way in, which happens to be where we would experience nuetral boyancy, but which is also about 5000k. This is above the boiling point (gas transition) of all common elements in comets and asteroids (only a handful of the periodic table nudges over this). So essentially everything is turning to gas in here. What happens as it sink lower- does it cool and coalesce?- I do not know.
