how come it is plasma?

No problemm

Why? It's because the atomic nuclei are so closely packed that an electron ends up being pushed into a lower orbit at same speed, meaning electron can break orbit without extra energy, also newly introduced electrons will not have enough room to make orbits so will just flow through a material with minimal resistance.
