It originates in the nuclear reactions in the interior and works its way out. It becomes visible light at the photosphere.
The Sun (or any other star) has structure.
There is a Core where the majority of the heat is generated via fusion of hydrogen into helium.
There is a Radiation Zone where the intense heat of the core is transmitted outward.
There is a Convection Zone where the heated plasma from below is circulated to the photosphere where it cools and falls back to be reheated.
Then there's the Photosphere... the visible surface of the Sun.
Next is the Atmosphere... which is comprised of five principal zones: the temperature minimum, the chromosphere, the transition region, the corona, and the heliosphere. The heliosphere, which may be considered the tenuous outer atmosphere of the Sun, extends outward past the orbit of Pluto to the heliopause, where it forms a sharp shock front boundary with the interstellar medium. The chromosphere, transition region, and corona are much hotter than the surface of the Sun; the reason why is not yet known.
Hope this helps!

What we see when we look at the sun is the surface. Therefore, the light comes from the surface. The sun is all gas / plasma.
