We demonstrate that a spot-connected prominence (filament) can simply be viewed as manifestation of the nontrivial topology of the spot's Higgs vacuum. It is conjectured that the spot-connected prominence forms in the region where the phase of the Higgs field, describing sunspot, has its discontinuity. A conclusion is arrived at that two topologically different types of prominences associated with sunspots might exist; a one-arm prominence, entering the spot from one side only, and a two-arm one, which points towards the spot's center from two opposite directions and whose each arm carries a topological charge whose magnitude is one-half of that carried by the former.
