Many folds and tiny microvilli line the small intestine. The microvilli are like tiny fingers and these help increase the surface area.

Because a pin has a small surface area and a boat has a large surface area.
The large surface area of the small intestine is achieved by a combination of anatomical features such as the plicae circularis, the vili, and the microvilli.

the small intestine has a large surface area because it allows nutrients to be absorbed into the body more quickly and easily.If there was a small surface area may-be most of our nutrients would end uo in the large intestine and out when we go to the toilet. To answer the final part of the question. What contributes? the length and elasticity of the small intestine contributes to it having a large surface area.
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
You can't absorb that which doesn't make contact with the surface.
cause there is
smaller surface area
