They are talking about the string argument which is enclosed in single quotes. You may also notice that the original string contains the word "platform" (singular) but the variable name is "platforms" (plural).

220,378 PointsThe string mentioned in the instructions
variable name ending in "s", not part of instructions
platforms.create(400, 450, 'platform');
