Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long chains of fatty acids such that they have also a polar and a non-polar part. When dissolved in water the polar part of the the soap molecule interacts with water molecules and the hydrophobic part form a cluster as in the picture above.

Micelles : when molecular ions in soaps and detergents aggregate, they form Micelles.
It is formed because soap has hydrophobic part. Water can attract hydrophillic part but not hydrophobic part.
When soap is dissolved in water, the molecules associate together as clusters called Micelles in which water molecules being polar in nature, surround the ions and the hydrocarbon part of the molecule attracts grease, oil and dirt.
