they break down food in our mouth into small pieces so that when it enters our stomach digestion can be easy......small pieces mean larger surface area on which our stomach's digestive system can work on

Hope it helps.

To help break down the food into smaller pieces before we swallow it so that it is easier for our stomachs to digest.
