“Any idea what this bump is and what it could be from ”
I noticed this little bump on my tongue just yesterday it doesn’t cause pain or anything but I’m able to feel it on the roof of my mouth which just slightly annoys me as I’m not used to feeling it and just thought I would ask if anyone knows what it could be

If it does not go away in a few days please go to your dentist to get it checked
Possible papilloma,
Appears to be normal tongue anatomy. Seek a dentist if red or white lesions don’t go away after 2 weeks.
A raised area on the tongue could be many things including irritation to the tongue. Please see your dentist and discontinue citrus and spicy food items for now, as it can cause more irritation to the area.
As a general rule you can give a lesion that develops in your mouth two weeks to resolve on its own, if it doesn't its good idea to get it checked out by your dentist.
This is a question that would be best answered by seeing you in the office. Although your pictures are clear, there are a number of things that this could be but in order to properly diagnose them I would need to take a closer look.
The tongue does have papilla that could be aggravated and enlarged. But a simple exam would definitely clarify what you are feeling and seeing on your tongue.

if that is at the back of your throat it may just be your lingual tonsils. Noone will diagnose from a photo.
We keep it on watch ,because this is look like papilloma, the treatment will be palliative only ...no sugerical interference
There are a few possible explanations for the bump you've noticed on your tongue. Here are a few common conditions that could cause a bump or lump on the tongue:
Tongue canker sore: Canker sores are small, shallow ulcers that can develop on the tongue or other parts of the mouth. They are usually painful, but some canker sores may be painless.
Tongue papillae inflammation: The bumps on the surface of your tongue are called papillae. Sometimes, these papillae can become inflamed due to irritation, injury, or certain foods, resulting in a small bump or discomfort.
Lie bumps: Lie bumps, also known as transient lingual papillitis, are small, painful bumps that can develop on the tongue. They are typically caused by minor trauma or irritation to the taste buds.
Mucocele: A mucocele is a harmless cyst that forms when a salivary gland duct becomes blocked or damaged. It appears as a fluid-filled bump and can occur on the tongue or other parts of the mouth.
If the bump persists or causes any concerns, it's always best to consult a healthcare professional or a dentist. They can examine your tongue and provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if necessary.

benign lesion in our mouth typically will go away without any treatment in 2-3 wks. you should have the "bump" evaluated by a dentist if it does not resolve on it's own to rule out cancer. good luck.
Possible viral .
I would look for a dental provider for a clinical examination.
