No explanation has so far been given.
President Morsi, who was elected in June, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Relations between the Brotherhood and the military have been tense since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak last year.
It is not clear whether the president has the power to sack the head of the armed forces under Egypt's interim constitution.
Before Mr Morsi was sworn in, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf) stripped the presidency of many of its powers.
The military council also dissolved the Egyptian Parliament, which is dominated by the president's Islamist allies.
As head of the Scaf, Field Marshal Tantawi became Egypt's interim ruler after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak in February last year.
