These threadlike structures that form muscle fibers are called myofibrils.

They are very long fibers organized into myofilaments, that layer on top of each other to create myofibrils, which then layer in order to create muscle fibers, which then layer to create muscles, which they cover our entire body and make up the muscular system of organisms.
