By saying nucleus, we mean that the DNA is contained in a membrane structure, that we call the nuclear membrane. However in prokaryotes (bacteria are examples!) the nucleus is not contained in a membrane structure. On the contrary, the DNA is rather suspended inside the cytoplasm itself in a compact form and is called a nucleoid.
