Answer:

It acts as digestive juice and softens the food, which further leads to the easy process of digestion. It is secreted by salivary glands. It moistens the food for easy swallowing. It contains a digestive enzyme called salivary amylase, which breaks down starch into sugar.

OR

Saliva is 98% water, so it moistens the mouth and helps compact food into softened particles for easier swallowing. It's important to chew your food as much as possible, as taking longer to chew gives the enzymes in saliva time to begin the process of breaking down carbohydrates, a very important part of digestion.
