Mitochondria and chloroplasts are referred to as "cell-encapsulated bacteria" because they are believed to have originated from ancient independent bacteria that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells through endosymbiosis. Over time, these bacterial symbionts established a mutually beneficial relationship with the host cell, eventually evolving into the present-day organelles with their own DNA and specialized functions.
