They are called thylakoids.

The disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stroma are called thylakoids. They contain the chlorophyll pigment and are the sites where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. Thylakoids are interconnected to form grana, which are stacks of thylakoids found in chloroplasts.
stroma
The cell organelle you are referring to is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells and contain stroma (fluid-filled region) and stacks of thylakoids (membranous sacs where photosynthesis occurs).
The chloroplast structure within a plant cell is composed of the following parts: Inner and outer membranes Stroma Thylakoid membrane which contains the photosystems Granum which is a stack of thylakoids Stroma lamellae which are flattened sacs inside the chloroplastThe inner membrane contains enzymes and proteins that are involved in photosynthesis while the outer membrane acts as a barrier that prevents the movement of large molecules. The stroma is the space between the inner and outer membranes and is filled with a variety of enzymes and proteins that are involved in metabolic processes. The thylakoid membrane contains the photosystems which are responsible for absorbing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. The granum is a stack of thylakoids and the stroma lamellae are flattened sacs inside the chloroplast that contain enzymes and proteins involved in the production of carbohydrates.
grana: grana consists of many flatened fluid - filled membraneous sacs called thylakoids.the grana are visible under the light microscope as grains these are light trapping reaction of photosynthesis stroma: the double membrane envelope called stroma these contains enzymes(protien) where light independent reaction (dark reaction ) of photosynthesis
The sacs located outside the body and in which the testes are suspended are called the scrotum. The scrotum is a pouch-like structure that contains the testicles and helps regulate their temperature for proper sperm production and development.
