Why would you name it a nucleoid and not a nucleus?
-
The bacterial nucleoid is not membrane-bound so it is not a true nucleus.

yep.. in medical terms OID means resembling
I would also add that bacteria and archaea are Procaryotic which do not have a "true" nucleus. The Eucarya cells (Eucaryots) such as Fungi and Algae and human cells and others I reckon have a nucleus. There is a list out there, just know that Procaryots do not have a nucleus and Eucaryots do.
That might be spelled incorrectly it might be Eukaryot. who knows, we're past that chapter now I'm not obligated to spell it correctly anymore, lol.

Because nuclei have membranes, and nucleoid means "like a nucleus".
