hy here is the answer
Hydrochloric acid is the only acid secreted by parietal cells of the stomach.
*This provides an acidic environment for many digestive enzymes to become active. Enzymes like pepsinogen get activated by HCl into pepsin which acts on proteins and brings about their digestion. 
*HCl along with gastric lipase emulsifies the lipids present in our food.
*HCl kills most of the pathogenic bacteria entering the digestive tract along with our food and water.
