What is digestion?

Your body gets energy out of the food you eat. Every cell in your body burns food to get energy. But to get the food from your mouth to your cell, the food needs to become smaller. That is what your digestive system does. It makes food so small that it can get into your blood which transports it to the cells in your body.
