Explanation:

Microvilli are small, finger - like projections on epithelial cells. Their main role is to increase the surface area for absorption or secretion processes in the body. They do not provide cell motility (cilia or flagella do that), and genetic material is stored in the nucleus, not in microvilli.

Answer:

Significantly increase the cell's surface area for absorption or secretion.
