It is called a jellyfish because it lives in the sea, although it isn't a fish. The "jelly" comes from the texture of its body, which is wet and slimy, similar to jelly.

Their physical characteristics resemble those of jelly. They have a watery texture (although you wouldn't want to go and touch one), and they can appear transparent or translucent.
