Answer:

The inner wall of the small intestine is covered by numerous folds of mucous membrane called plicae circulares. The surface of these folds contains tiny projections called villi and microvilli, which further increase the total area for absorption.

I hope this will help you if not then sorry, have a wonderful day :)
