How does string theory predict the existence of black holes?
Black holes are solutions to the Einstein equation, therefore string theories that contain gravity also predict the existence of black holes. But string theories give rise to more interesting symmetries and types of matter than are commonly assumed in ordinary Einstein relativity. So black holes are more interesting to study in the context of string theory, because there are more kinds to study.
