finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
The small, finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase the surface area for absorption are called Intestinal Villi. Singularly they are called Intestinal Villus. Not only do they increase the amount of absorption, they also help the food move along the intestinal pathway.
these finger like projections are called villi
Sounds like a benign papilloma to me (a medical student). But I am not a doctor, and my advice means nothing, you should get it checked out by a gastroenterologist.
Microvilli for increase surface area for absorption
finger like projections in small intestine are called villi to increase surface area for absorption of food in small intestine.
The villi are the finger-like projections found in the small intestine. The villi increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption.

Villi
Villi, to increase the surface area for absorption.
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
Villi
The cells that line small intestines have small projections on their surface called villi. These projections collectively increase the total surface area of the small intestine. This adaptation facilitates increased absorption of nutrients
The small intestine has villi to absorb nutrients. Villi are small projections that increase the possible surface area for absorption.
Villi.
the finger-like projections increase the surface area of the small intestine, meaning there is more are available for the absorption of nutrients etc from the food.
The small intestines job is to absorb food into the bloodstream. The inner layer of the small intestine is covered in small finger-like projections called villi, these increase the surface are and therefore increase the rate of absorption.
Villi or microvilli
Tiny projections on the free surface of some epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
The small intestine is the main digestive organ of the human body. It is where digestion is completed and nearly all absorption of nutrients into the blood stream occurs. Because it has such a big job to do, it needs a large surface area so that more nutrients can be absorbed at any one time. This surface area is provided mainly by its length. The walls of the small intestine are also covered in 'fingerlike' projections called villi, on which are more tiny projections called microvilli. These projections also significantly increase the surface area of the small intestine, to allow a faster rate of absorption.
Fingerlike projections of cytoplasm and known as pseudopod(s). Pseudopd organisms are typically found on in the microscopic subkingdom of Protozoa( genus Amoeba).
