eli5 how gaseous are gas planets?

I learned growing up that gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter are mostly gas. What does that mean exactly? Do they have a ground/crust or is it just gas all the way through?

From what little I know… They don’t have a ground/crust the same way the Earth does. As you get deeper and deeper into the planet the pressure increases to monumental levels. It compacts the gas into a liquid like state.
