It is a very light material, and it bends a little bit. My perception is that the material feels like all plastic, but if there is steel, I wouldn't call it
It is reinforced plastic that is used to make the stakes. For sera fencing, I do not think they are strong enough.
There is a degree of flexibility to them, but it will not retain a curve over time. You shouldn't bend them too far, because they will snap. By using a heat gun, you might be able to permanently bend that metal.
Don't waste your money on them! They are complete garbage! They are hollow thin metal, much better to use sticks instead of these!

Those aren't solid rebar since there are three (according to my memory) rebar pieces inside them, and the plastic that separates the rebar pieces collapses when hammered.
I'd suggest steering clear of these hollow spikes as they're garbage and can hurt you while putting them down. DO NOT BUY CHINESE CHEAP GARBAGE BUY THE BAMBOO ONE.
The tubes are coated with aluminum. These can be pushed into hard or soft ground without much difficulty, but they will need a hammer if you need to use them on hard soil. Except for that, they may not be suitable if wood stakes are unavailable. For our tomato plants, we had to use multiple stakes.
