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.
A string is a variable type, a simple container for a sequence of letters, nothing more. guitext or UItext are much more complex classes that are used to display a string on screen. $$anonymous$$g. they also contain attributes how the text should be displayed, font, color, size, alignment and so on.

Yes, exactly. A string variable is not that different to the other types. But ins$$anonymous$$d of a number it stores a sequence of letters.
