The term micelle refers to a specific formation of fat in which the fat has a polar layer that is facing out towards the water and a non colder layer that is positioned in the center, making a single layered bubble. Soap forms a lot of these quite naturally in water.
These help wash away some substances that water doesn’t normally wash away because the non polar regions can all circle up around a non polar group of molecules, and the polar regions then make the whole thing soluble in water.
