Very cool. Within the cell are tiny chloroplasts, (the structures containing those "stacked plate" thylakoids. They are actually endosymbiotic prokaryotes, photosynthetic cyanobacteria, that provide the energy for the cell, while living inside it. They each have their own, bacterial DNA, and they reproduce separately from the plant.

It's an amazing God, Who made a world which brought forth wonders like this.

I think you might be referring to the stromal lamellae, that connect the thylacoids, the stacks of flat membranes where photosynthesis takes place.

No, they are the tinniest things in the video...floating everywhere.

That's the "cytoskeleton", made up of microtubules, hollow straw-like structures which promote the transport of cellular proteins and mediate events in mitosis. Or at least that's what they do in animal cells; I had to look it up to see if they have the same names in botany.
