The 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor.

Even though there are some 16-bit registers (BC, DE, HL, SP, PC), with some 16-bit operations that can be performed on them, and a 16-bit address bus, the accumulator (A), the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and the data bus are 8-bits in size, making the 8085 an 8-bit computer.

The 8086 is a 16 bit microprocessor because Intel designed it that way. It was considered to be the next logical evolution of the 8085, which is an 8 bit processor.

The number of bits that a processor is called is generally the fundamental accumulator size. In the 8086, AX is 16 bits in size, while in the 8085 A is 8 bits in size.
