They are called tori (multiple) or torus (singular). Some people have them, some don't. Some of them can be HUGE and need to be removed because they are so large they interfere with tongue space, chewing, and talking. I have small ones on the floor of my mouth and a small one in the center of my hard palate.

Tori can compromise your breathing and cause apnea.

Personally, I never took snoring seriously. It was just one or those things, but as I got older, I actually looked into it.

It can cause serious health issues.
