Answer:

The answer is SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of each villus is covered with simple columnar epithelium . The free surface of these cells has very tiny projections called microvilli , which are specialized for absorption (absorptive cells).

The type of epithelium is simple columnar epithelium.

Goblet cells are a simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete mucins that form mucus.

Microvilli on the other hand is a microscopic cellular membrane that has the form of a finger like projection and has the function of increasing the cell area in order to facilitate the cells absorption.
