Question about projection map in short exact sequence

enter image description here

In an short exact sequences, like the one appear in the indentation and the one appear in the included screenshot:

$\{0\}\stackrel{\rm f_{i-1}}{\longrightarrow}A\stackrel{\rm f_{i}}{\longrightarrow}B\stackrel{\rm f_{i+1}}{\longrightarrow}C\stackrel{\rm f_{i+2}}{\longrightarrow}\{0\}$

where $\text{Im }f_{i-1} = \text{Ker }f_{i}$.

I understand why the $f_{i+1}$ map is a surjective map, since $\text{Ker}f_{i+1}=C$. But according to here, $\pi$, $\iota$ in place of $f_{i+1}$, $f_{i}$ respectively and change of letters designating the sets being map to. Section 1.11 second paragraph pg 79, also included in the screenshot also calls it a projection map. Can someone explain to me in what sense it is a projection map.

Thank you in advance
