The string is in mechanical contact with the rest of the instrument and transfers the vibrations of the string(s) well; this means the body of the instrument is now vibrating. The body of a stringed instrument is, in general, made to resonate the sound so that an audience can hear music played on the instrument. In short, -every part- of the instrument vibrates. The string is used to start the vibrations and the body projects the sound when the vibrations are transferred to it.
