Lining of your intestine is not smooth. Nature has adapted various methods to increase the surface area of the intestine. The surface has become grossly uneven due to this factor. The surface area of the small intestine is about 2750 square feet. That is why the surface becomes rough, although the lining is made of very soft epithelium.
