Why are AngularJS modules called apps?

I started learning AngularJS today and I am a bit confused about modules (angular.module(...)).

Why are AngularJS modules called apps?

Thanks

No, angular modules aren't called apps. Sometimes you can see an "app" or "myApp" module (i.e. in official docs). It's just a convention. It means the main module of your web app.

Some projects consist of only one module - then name "myApp"/"app" kind of makes sense. That's the case in most examples in official documentation, thus they use name like "myApp".

They're not. They're called modules. There's typically a distinction made that your main module (that executes the core functionality of your application) is your app, but that's just a convention made to help people understand the layout of the modules.
