They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum.

You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.

Why does thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria?

Thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria because chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. During evolution, the cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a host cell eventually became mutually beneficial, leading to the development of chloroplasts. The structural similarity between the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a remnant of this evolutionary relationship.
