You must have a clear concept of digestion and then you can slowly understand about it's type of reaction also!

Definition ( Digestion )

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed by the cells of our body.

Thus from the definition we came to know that it is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones for the convenience of the tiny cells of our body.

Definition ( Decomposition Reaction )

Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down Or decomposes into two or more elements or new compounds.

Thus, in the process of digestion also same process takes place. Therefore, we can conclude that digestion of food represents the decomposition reaction.
