Explanation:
Microvilli are hair like projections in the small intestine,they helps to absorb the nutrients and some salts from waste.Microvilli has a tendency to increase the surface area about 25 times of their size,so it helps to absorb the major surface area at a time.

Hi Mate here is your answer:-
Nearly all of the nutrients you take in through your mouth are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine. This is no surprise when you take a look at the surface of the small intestine wall and notice all of the special modifications that are designed to increase nutrient absorption. We had previously learned that the mucosa is the lining of the digestive tract, and it consists of simple columnar epithelial cells.
In the small intestine, these cells contain microvilli, which are tiny hair-like projections that increase nutrient absorption. These projections increase the surface area of the small intestine allowing more area for nutrients to be absorbed.
Microvilli are microscopic and can only be seen with a very powerful microscope, but they give the cell surface a fuzzy appearance because there are so many of them. This fuzzy appearance leads some anatomists to refer to microvilli as a brush border because the structure looks like the bristles of a paintbrush. So, we see that the brush border can be defined as the microvilli-covered surface of the simple columnar epithelium cells of the small intestine.
