Cilia (singular cilium). Unless you mean the outside of epidermal leaf cells, in which case they are trichomes.

What are the hairlike projections on the olfactory and gustatory cells that have chemical receptors?

The hairlike projections on olfactory and gustatory cells are known as cilia in olfactory cells and microvilli in gustatory cells. These structures contain chemical receptors that interact with specific odorant molecules or taste substances, respectively. This interaction initiates a signal transduction pathway that ultimately leads to the perception of smell or taste. These projections increase the surface area for receptor engagement, enhancing the sensitivity of these sensory systems.
