Best Answer

In the Standard Model, quarks are fundamental particles. As such, they are not made up other particles. They either exist as quarks, or not at all. Like all matter they can be converted into energy, but quarks are the building blocks of hadrons like the proton and neutron. Links can be found below to learn more.
