The model of the magnetic field of sunspots, taking account of fine structure of magnetic field in solar plasma, is considered. Small-scale subgranules with their own field form magnetic filaments in the external current-free field. The filaments are vertical in the umbra, while in the penumbra they run along the surface with sharp bends. In a number of spot umbra the relation between Doppler velocity and the field is established on polarized spectrograms. The π-component splitting in umbra is interpreted as a result of a weak background magnetic-field existence together with a large field of magnetic filaments. Spectrographic definition of the magnetic field in spot umbra is accomplished on the effect of magnetic-lines intensification and directly on spectrograms of low-excitation (Fe I, Ti I) and high-excitation (Fe II) lines. Magnetic field measured in low-excitation lines exceeds twice the field value obtained in high-excitation lines. This result has been considered in the light of the proposed model of sunspot field.
