Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma are the states of MATTER.
It's still matter regardless of which state it is in.
What I think is tripping you up, Winter, is that plasma states can break down the atomic structure. Hydrogen plasma is almost like a soup of free electrons and protons. But it is still (by definition) matter.
