Thylakoids float in the liquid filling the chloroplast, called the stroma. The part of the Thylakoids between two Grana is called a Lamella. Most importantly, they are the sites of the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the first step of photosynthesis.
We'll hit the high points for the structure of a chloroplast. Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. They are appropriately named the outer and inner membranes. The inner membrane surrounds the stroma and the grana (stacks of thylakoids). One thylakoid stack is called a granum.
