The immense gravity of a star normally causes heavier elements, as they are synthesized, to sink towards the center. The structure of a typical star then is like an onion, where the layers are different elements and are arranged heaviest to lightest, from the center. However, a rare type of star does not have this structure. What do you call this type of star?Most stars are stratified. What is the name of the type of star that is not?A Yahoo Search for:
non-stratified stars
turns up something called a non-stratified superfluid neutron star.

However the typical neutron stars and black holes may be considered to have strata.
A Neutron Star is stratified with a crust and a liquid interior and will exhibit star quakes.

Maybe a black hole. We can't see past the event horizon. Yet current theories distinguish between the apparent horizon, the event horizon, and the singularity inside and this, I think, determines a form of strata.
