The covering that protects the DNA of a virus is called a capsid. This protein coat encases and safeguards the viral genetic material, whether it is DNA or RNA, from environmental threats and helps the virus attach to and enter host cells. In some viruses, the capsid is further surrounded by an additional lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane, which also plays a role in infection.
