Answer:

Digestion is the process of converting complex food any individual eats, into the smaller components and nutrition that is absorbed and assimilated into the body to produce energy and nutrition for the cell and body. The digestion process takes place in the digestive system that includes the gastrointestinal tract and organs like the liver and pancreas.

It includes ingestion of food through the mouth or buccal cavity, propulsion of food, physical digestion by making it small pulp with help of peristalsis, chemical digestion by the enzymes and acid, absorption through the intestine into the blood, and defecation of waste.
