HCl is considered as strong acid. It is one of three strongest acids in the world. It can burn your skin x3 time deeper.

HCl helps to make the food medium acidic. It is released by gastric glands. Stomach is getting protected from acid because of presence of inner lining of mucus.

So, the function of mucus is to protect the inner lining of stomach from HCl
