Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.

The finger-like outgrowths in the small intestine are called villi. 

The large intestine lacks villi, but it does have structures similar to villi called haustra, which are sac-like outpouchings of the colonic wall. 

The main function of the large intestine is to absorb water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food material and to store faeces before elimination. 

The haustra aid in the mixing and propulsion of faeces towards the rectum for elimination.

The correct statement is, "The finger-like outgrowths present on the inner walls of the small intestine are called villi."
