The function of soap is to encourage the formation of micelles which are done by the soap ions. The hydrophobic end is attached away from the dirt droplet and the hydrophylic end is attached towards the micelle. The same is applicable to bile salt which breaks or emulsifies larger fat globules to smaller fat globules called micelles. The function is similar because both the processes involve the formation of micelles.

does the soap molecules (micelle) break down the large dirt?
No dude soaps are substance which break large dirt into smaller globules called micelles
oh
so soap molecules are not called micelle
yes
soap molecules are soap only
they break dirt into smaller globules called micelles
a micelle is a spherical cluster of hundred of molecules of soap or detergent in their solution in water
ya it is formed after reaction between soap and water
