Answer:
pharynx
Explanation:
The pharynx is part of the digestive system as well as the respiratory system because it carries both food and air. At the bottom of the pharynx, this pathway divides in two, one for food — the esophagus (ih-SAH-fuh-gus), which leads to the stomach — and the other for air.

★The passage for air, and the passage for food and liquid, begin separately at the nose and the mouth. Air, food and liquid all pass through this common passage, the oropharynx. The two passages separate again here, in the hypopharynx. Food and liquid pass backward into the esophagus on their way to the stomach.❤
