Yes, as you already said, a string stores a sequence of characters that form a text, like “Hello” or “WinterStormStudios”. They are used for many purposes. It could be the display of a score, displaying a players name or some text message that appears on the screen, like “You Win!”.

Inside Unity there are also other occurences, e.g. as the name of an object, the tag of an object or the name of a layer. These are all strings.
