Lipids [oils {plant origin}are liquid at room temperature while fats {animal origin}are solid at room temperature] are called fatty acids because they have an acid Head and a lipid Tail.
In the Cell membrane we find a double layer of sheets of lipids [fatty acids] with the hydrophobic (water avoiding) tails facing the interior of this lipid bi-layer while the hydrophyllic (water loving) acid heads are found facing outward from the two (intra-Cellular and extra-Cellular) 'exterior' surfaces of the lipid bi-layer.
