How thousands of folds and sub-folds in the small intestine help in digestion?
It increases the surface area available for absorption of digestion nutrients.
How is surface area maximized in the stomach and small intestines?

How does microvilli help in the digestion of food?
The provide the small intestine with a large surface area, and provides the capillaries close to the surface.
