Default Magnetosphere of Sun

To what do we attribute the large magnetosphere of our Sun, given such
a low abundance of paramagnetic elements?

The Sun's interior is a plasma (charged particles) and it is a residule
electric charge along with the rotation of the Sun (causing a rotating
electric current) that results in the Sun's magnetic field.
