Striated muscles contain bundled striations visible lines under a microscope. These muscles are attached to the skeleton and found at long bones, such as the muscles of thighs. Unlike smooth muscle, striated muscles contain repeating functional units called sarcomere. The muscles are under voluntary control (unlike smooth muscles) and permit strenuous work.

striated smooth muscle with intercalated discs
skeletal muscle
The characteristic striated appearance of skeletal muscle is due to the arrangement of alternating protein filaments composed of actin and myosin. These filaments slide past each other during muscle contraction, causing the muscle to shorten and generate force.
They are striated because striated means kind of stripey and the muscles has stripes of muscle itself.
