Explanation:
That's because the top of your tongue is covered with a layer of bumps called papillae (say: puh-PILL-ee). Papillae help grip food and move it around while you chew. And they contain your taste buds, so you can taste everything from apples to zucchini! ... Taste buds can detect sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors.
