Answer:

I think it is the Villi

Step-by-step explanation:

I learned in my health science class that the inside of the small intestine has many folds, called the villi. I also did research on the villi and I learned that the villi in anatomy any of the small, slender, cascular projections that increase the surfave area of a membrane. The villi is designed to absorb nutrients from the liquid mixture called chyme produced in the stomach from the food.
