A flame is a partial plasma. The ionization is responsible for a great deal of the energy emitted. The flame itself is not energy, but is matter in gaseous and plasma states, with an indefinite boundary but a clear corona of combustion.

Flame is the result of an exothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction is when you create a chemical reaction, but on the products side of the reaction you also get some energy (note: there is also an endothermic reaction in which you need to add energy to the reactants side of the reaction to get the products). This energy is most often given off in the form of heat.
So, to answer your question, flame is energy given off by the creation of less-stable matter in a chemical reaction (most often, a combustion reaction).

A flame is a hot gas with some suspended unbunt fuel particles in it. So, it is matter and yes, it has energy too since it is at a higher temperature.

A flame is matter giving off light. It's molecules that are being oxidized (chemical reaction with oxygen) and giving up heat and light energy.

The One Who Knows is closest.
A flame is matter albeit hot matter. It consists of fuel and the products of combustion (soot, CO2 etc.)

it's energy released by the object burntwhich produces gases like carbondioxide,carbonmonoxide.
