ingestion ,digestion ,absorption ,assimilation,egestion

Answer 2

Cud chewing herbivore animals are called ruminants. They have a special four-chambered stomach. The first chamber is called rumen. The rumen has some micro-organisms that help in partial digestion of cellulose of the plant materials.

This food is now called cud. The ruminants bring this crud back to their mouth and chew it thoroughly. This process is called rumination. The thorough chewing of food during rumination helps to break down the rich cellulose content of the plant materials. This "breaking down" makes it easy for these animals to digest the cellulose content.
