Q1: How is water important in digestion?

[Answer]

There are substances in food that the body needs to survive. These substances are called nutrients.

The body can only use the nutrients when they have dissolved in water.

Digestion is the breaking down of foods so that the body can use the nutrients.

The parts of the digestive system are stomach, liver and intestines (gut).
