Thread-like projections are commonly referred to as "filaments" or "threads." In biological contexts, these can include structures such as neurons' axons and dendrites or the hyphae of fungi. In materials science, they may refer to fibers used in textiles or composite materials. The specific term can vary based on the context in which they are found.
A thread-like cell, such as a neuron, serves to transmit electrical signals throughout the body. These cells have long projections that allow for rapid communication between different parts of the nervous system. Their specialized structure helps in sensing and relaying information for various physiological processes.
I am guessing you are referring to cilia, which are tiny hair like projections in the human body that help move cells, and keep out germs.
The protist that moves by many short hair-like projections is called a paramecium. It uses tiny hair-like structures called cilia to beat in a coordinated motion, allowing it to move and feed.
Forming small, nipple-like projections of cells is called "papillomatosis." This term is often used in a medical context to describe the growth of benign tumors that resemble small projections or warts on the surface of a tissue. Papillomas can occur in various organs and are usually associated with viral infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV).
The rock formations that look like icicles from the ceiling are called stalactites. The ones from the floor are called stalagmites.
Fingerlike projections in the small intestine are called villi
Phylum Ciliophora are the type of protists that move by means of short hair-like projections. These hair-like projections are called cilia.

PSEUDOPODIA
Ciliates are protists that move by the means of many short hair-like projections, called cilia.
They are called as villi. (singular is villus.)

The finger like projections that line the small intestine are called, Villi.
