The numerous finger-like projections present on the inner lining of the small intestine are called :
Villi
The inner lining (mucosa) of the small intestine has millions of small finger-like folds called villi, and their surface cells bear even smaller microvilli.
Villi greatly increase the surface area for absorbing digested food; each villus contains blood capillaries that take up sugars and amino acids and a lacteal that takes up fats.
Alveoli are the tiny air sacs of the lungs, while cilia and flagella are hair-like or whip-like structures used for movement or moving fluids over cells.
Hence, Villi.
