because it is
Villi. Also the Villi are covered in Micro-villi - just the same but smaller. The function of them is to increase surface area for absorption.
Villi are fingerlike projection from a surface and in the intestine they are one cell thick with blood vessels and lacteal. The funciton is to increase the surface area of the intestine and so increasing the ammount of absorption.
Inner folds are called villi and they increase the surface area and increase the efficiency of digestion and absorption by increasing the contact of intestinal secretions and food particles and also food particles and the inner surface lining of intestine.
If you mean the hairs on the cells they are villi and micro-villi
The villi on the inner surface.

Chorionic villi are of fetal origin and eventually form the placenta
Villi are fingerlike projection from a surface and in the intestine they are one cell thick with blood vessels and lacteal. The funciton is to increase the surface area of the intestine and so increasing the ammount of absorption.
the lining of the small intestine has folds, and are covered with finger-like projections called villi, which are covered with thousands of micro-villi

trophoblasts/chorionic villi and the uterus form the placenta
The villi increases the surface area for the small intestine.
The structure of the placenta is directly related to its function of facilitating nutrient and gas exchange between the mother and fetus. The placenta is composed of villi, which are finger-like projections that increase the surface area for exchange. The villi are surrounded by maternal blood sinuses, allowing for the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood to the fetal blood, and the removal of waste products from the fetal blood.
Villi. Most absorbtion occurs in the ileum btw.
The intestinal wall is covered with microscopic protrusions called villi and microvilli. These villi look like millions of tiny fingers or hairs sticking out from the intestinal wall. The villi increase the surface area of the wall because there is now much more membrane per square inch of intestine.
The three types of villi are: Intestinal villi-microscopic finger like projections on the inner surface of the ileum. Chorionic villi-villi on the outermost membrane of the foetus. Arachnoid villi-villi on the arachnoid membrane of the brain.
