Answer:

digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

Yes It help in digestion.

The process of digestion starts in the mouth itself where the food is mixed with saliva .

Saliva secreted by the salivary glands contain digestive juices that help in the breakdown of starch into sugar.

Saliva also makes the food slimy so that it can be easily swallowed .
