Answer:

Intestines

Step-by-step explanation:

When food is chewed in the mouth, enzymes in saliva break down starch into sugar. Swallowed food travels down the esophagus into the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acids. The liver secretes special enzymes that help the stomach digest fats. Nutrients and water from digested food is absorbed by the intestines before it is passed out of the body as waste.

Hope it helped!
