The answer to this question would be: false

Solid foods have a smaller surface that can be digested by enzyme compared to the liquids food. Liquid food like milk can easily be digested as the substrate spread in the solution to the enzyme can bind freely to the substrate. In solid food, the area that can be digested would be only the outer part of the food. That is why organism have teeth so the food can be cut into smaller pieces, increasing the surface area that can be digested.
