Identify the part which vibrates to produce sound in the following instruments: Sitar

In a Sitar, the part that vibrates to produce sound is the strings. When plucked or strummed by the musician’s fingers or a plectrum (mizrab), the strings vibrate, creating sound waves. These vibrations are transmitted through the bridge to the body of the Sitar, where they resonate and amplify, producing the instrument’s distinctive sound.
