what is the role of tongue in our body
Answers
Our teeth help our tongue grind food as the tongue mixes the food around your mouth.
A dry tongue can't taste a thing, so saliva helps the tongue by keeping it wet. Saliva moistens food and helps to break it down, which makes it easier for the tongue to push the food back to swallow it.

Answer:
The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG). The tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain
Eating and drinking
Being extremely movable, the tongue's main job is helping us eat: It enables us to suck, turns solid food into a mash that can be swallowed (bolus) and starts the act of swallowing. The tongue can also differentiate many tastes and flavors, which helps us tell whether the food is good for us.
