Food constitutes of nutrients, which cannot be used unchanged from the organism to cover its needs.
It needs to be digested so that the nutrients can be extracted by the body for use, as it passes through the digestive system.
The digestive system is designed to convert complex molecules to simple ones, which can be used by cells in order to develop and be auto repaired.
