Explanation:
Term microvilli are made up of two words, micro and villi.
Microvilli (singular: microvillus) are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that (1) increase the surface area for diffusion, (2) minimize any increase in volume, (3) and are involved in a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion, cellular adhesion, and mechanotransduction.
