The mechanism of the solar differential rotation usually ascribed to an anisotropic viscosity action is shown to be caused by Coriolis forces which influence anisotropic convective elements in a stratified medium. The estimation of an anisotropy parameter s as a function of the convective zone depth is given. The value of (s - 1) is positive near the solar surface and negative at the convective zone base, which is in good agreement with observations and the dynamo theory.
