we know that plasma is an ionized gas.
in a flame sometimes the temperature is high enough to knock the protons and free their electrons.
by this we can say that containing plasma depends on the temperature of flames .
so some flames contain Plasma and some doesn't.

hey mate here is your answer :-) :-)
____________________________________

to understand this concept , 1stly we have to learn what is plasma ?
Answer :- It means Ionized gas. Ionized gas means that some electrons have been ripped completely off the atoms that make up the gas.
these electrons are negatively charged and results ionized atoms end up positively charged.  an unequal number of electrons and protons is called an ion. where there are enough ions in the gas , it begins to act like a plasma. Therefore, a stricter definition of a plasma is a gas where there are enough freed electrons and ions that they act collectively.

Now, we come to ur question :- Do flames contain plasma?
Answer :- Whether a plasma exists in a flame depends on the material being burned and the temperature.Very hot flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density to be considered plasma. So, some flames contain plasma and some donot .
