If it is matter, it must have gravity. I frankly don't know the answer to that, and I seriously doubt that it's even discovered. Searched but No google results at my side.
What keeps us in orbit around the sun? The sun is made of plasma. The sun exerts a gravitational pull on the Earth. Therefore the sun has mass. Therefore plasma has mass.
Anything that has mass and occupies volume is matter.

Edit: what she said.
I declare my defeat in this debate since my last chance was checking the sun's core composition; and it turns out it is actually plasma:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_core
Quote:The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 to 0.25 of solar radius.[1] It is the hottest part of the Sun and of the Solar System. It has a density of 150 g/cm3 at the center, and a temperature of 15 million kelvins (15 million degrees Celsius, 27 million degrees Fahrenheit).[2][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_core#cite_note-2][/url]
The core is made of hot, dense plasma (ions and electrons)
And I will obey what the Quran said about the composition of souls:
Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
https://quran.com/17:85?store=false&translations=
(85) And they ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair [i.e., concern] of my Lord. And you [i.e., mankind] have not been given of knowledge except a little."
