It means it's arranged in pairs or chains
Bacteria often grow in characteristic patterns or grouping.· Prefix diplo- cell arranged in pairs· Prefix staphylo- cells arranged in clusters· Prefix strepto- refers to bacteria arrange in chains

The name "streptococcus" tells you that the bacteria are arranged in a chain-like structure, with individual cells attached to one another. "Strepto" means twisted or coiled, and "coccus" refers to spherical cells.
