Presumably something like "a string is a sequence of characters" would be a good first answer, though it might prompt some follow-up questions.
I love how questions like this suddenly become more complicated when you have a deeper understanding of the internals. Your first instinct of an answer might not be 100% correct. If I were asked this question unexpectedly, I'd probably trip over myself a few times as I thought through it out loud.
