Smell and taste are part of the same interconnected sensory system, and "flavor" is almost entirely sensed in the nose.
Smell (olfactory sense) and taste (gustatory sense) fall broadly in the category of "chemical senses" and work in similar ways. Not only that, the flavor of food is almost entirely detected in the nose and not the tongue. The taste receptors on the tongue and the "oderant" receptors in the nose work together to tell us about the air we breathe and the food we eat.

heya your answer!!
we taste the food when it is attractive and gives good smell.
if it gives good smell we taste it and eat it.
that is why there is a relation between smell and taste
we cannot detect that taste of some foods without smelling them .
close relationship between taste and smell is more prominent when we perceive the flavours of food.
the chemoreceptors or olfactory receptors triggers the signal in the form of nerve impulses to the brain where smell is detected .
similarly as we take food into our mouth taste Buds send signals to the brain .
Thus taste and smell are related .
