Answer:

The electrons in degenerate matter are compressed so closely together that they more-or-less behave as if the entire star is one huge quantum system. They form an electron gas, and behave very much like a highly pressurized fluid inside the star. (Protons and neutrons have their own quantum states, thank you.)
