The amount of magnetic flux that rises up to the Sun's surface varies with time in a cycle called the solar cycle. This cycle lasts 11 years on average. This cycle is sometimes referred to as the sunspot cycle.

Why do they say that the solar cycle is 22 years long?

The most obvious solar cycle the sunspot cycle, of roughly 11 years (on average - the length of an actual cycle may vary). Once in every sunspot cycle, the Sun's magnetic field reverses (north become south, and south becomes north), so a full cycle (for north to be back where it started) is twice the sunspot cycle.
