space at Plank scale.

All models of space that I know from physics use real or complex manifolds. I was just wondering if it is still the case at the level of Planck scale?. In string theory, physicists still use strings (circles) in a 11 dimensional manifold in order to model particles. Do they do this because there is no mathematical alternatives or because the nature (mathematical essence) of space at the Planck scale is still not yet discovered?
