why is the sun's density less than the inner planets?

The density of the sun is 1410kg/m^3 and mercury's is 5430kg/m^3, but shouldn't the sun be denser? Because when the solar system was forming there was a big disk of debris, and depending on the density of the debris it went closer or further from the center which then forms the planets, but the sun is in the center, and it's less dense than mercury, why?
