An intimate link between the structure of the sunspot's magnetic field configuration and the behavior of the Higgs field phase at large distances from spot's center is discussed within a U(1)-symmetric Yang-Mills-Higgs gauge theory. It is shown, in particular, that the total magnetic flux of standard sunspots can acquire discrete values only. A conclusion is also arrived at that, in addition to standard sunspots (magnetic vortices), a new sort of sunspots (magnetic sources (sinks)), whose total magnetic flux is zero, could principally be observed on the sun. The two sorts of spots are shown to stand in a dual or complementary relation to each other.
