Why is it masculine?

Girasoles is masculine because it is a compound of "gira" (from Latin "gīrāre", to turn) + "sol" (sun, from Latin "sōl"). In Spanish, "sol" is masculine, and the masculine gender of the final element (sol) typically determines the gender of compound words. This pattern is seen in other Spanish compounds where the final noun's gender is preserved.
