Answer:

Granules

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer most layer of the Earth is photo-sphere. The photo-sphere layer of the sun is characterized by many bright markings i.e. it has a grainy texture. These are called granules. Granules are produced due to convection currents. The top of the convection cells are visible which give it a grainy texture and is known as granulation.
