The Papillae are ridges in the stratum germinativum that arise from the dermis. These ridges create permanent ridges in the fingers, palms, and soles of the feet. These ridges or "friction ridges" help with grip and also cause "finger prints" which give us our own identity.

What dermal tissue structure are responsible for fingerprints?
The dermal papillae are small, nipple-like protrusions of the dermis that reach into the epidermis, bringing food and oxygen to the lower layers of epidermal cells. In addition, a papilla nourishes every hair follicle. Rows of papillae protruding from the dermis into the epidermis form ridges that create patterns on the skin of the hands, feet, and body. These papillary ridges on the fingertips are responsible for fingerprints. These ridges develop sometime before birth. Not only is the pattern unique for each individual, but also it never changes except to grow larger.
