The lysosomes contain several digestive enzymes which when released bring about the breakdown of various cytoplasmic structures. If these enzymes are released freely in the cell, they would result in autodigestion of the cell itselt. Therefore, they are reffered to as the suicide bags of the cell.
They provide energy by controlled breakdown of stored food substances(Intracellular digestion).

They are called so because lysosomes facilitate in intracellular digestion and destroy foreign bodies.
Also when the cell is old or injured,these digest cell organelles itself(some cytoplasmic structures) hence known as suicide bags.
They also digest cartilage cells (for the purpose of forming bones).
