HERE IS YOUR ANSWER. . . . .
The 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.

As saliva contains the enzyme salivary amylase which help in chemical digestion of food that is it break down starch into sugar so if it's not secreted this breakdown will not tale place and it will become difficult to digest the food.
