You may be talking about microvilli.
The infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration to take place.
The folds of the plasma membrane that increase the cell's surface area are called microvilli. They are small, finger-like projections found on the surface of certain types of cells, particularly in cells involved in absorption, to increase the surface area for better nutrient absorption.
Microvilli are slender extensions of the plasma membrane that increase its surface area. They are found in cells involved in absorption, such as in the small intestine, where they help in increasing the efficiency of nutrient absorption.
The surface area to volume ratio increases when folds are made in a cell's outer membrane. This increase allows for more efficient exchange of materials with the surroundings because there is more surface area available for interactions.
The inner membrane of mitochondria contains folds called cristae which increase the surface area for cellular respiration. The cristae provide more space for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis, allowing for efficient energy production. This increased surface area enhances the mitochondria's ability to generate ATP through aerobic metabolism.
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.
To increase the surface area.

The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.
The inner membrane of mitochondria contains folds called cristae which increase the surface area for cellular respiration. The cristae provide more space for the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis, allowing for efficient energy production.
