Answer:
Prevent food from entering the respiratory tract. The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped flap in the throat that prevents food from entering the windpipe and the lungs. It stands open during breathing, allowing air into the larynx. ... It is thus the valve that diverts passage to either the trachea or the esophagus.
