The tiny bumps on the surface of the tongue are called papillae. There are several types of papillae, including fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate, which play a role in taste sensation and texture perception. These structures contain taste buds that help us detect different flavors. Additionally, the papillae contribute to the tongue's surface texture, aiding in the manipulation of food during chewing.
