Rocks falling into the sun

If a rock falls into our Sun, does it become a gas and mix with all the other gases?

If so, the centre of the Sun should be a gas too.

Could it be that the the magnetic lines that we see are at least caused by rocks falling into the Sun?

Rock will become gas.  The sun is entirely plasma (ionized gas).  Answer to last question - no.
