But plasma at difference densities is the point.
So a super hot and super dense plume of plasma surely has a changing energy density "moment by moment" and given there is constant production of energy/heat with thermonuclear reactions I'd say it varies wildly moment by moment.

Yes - it can be compressed, and air pressure at sea level changes all the time within bounds.
Yes but pressure doesn't change significantly the way a gas does and it is entirely temperature dependent - very hard to compress further unlike a gas or a plasma.
That a photon takes a long time "on average" to reach core to surface I don't see as relevant but I'm willing to be illuminated
Energy density is the amount of energy stored in a given system or region of space per unit volume.

Air pressure is independent of elevation?
Yes - it can be compressed, and air pressure at sea level changes all the time within bounds.
Hot water does not convect?
Yes but pressure doesn't change significantly the way a gas does and it is entirely temperature dependent - very hard to compress further unlike a gas or a plasma.
