The correct name for the digestive system is the gastrointestinal system. The term digestive leads you to believe that digestion is the only process covered in the system which is misleading. The entire gastrointestinal (or digestive) system includes ingestion, digestion, absorption, and egestion.

The concept of "scientific names" is something of a myth. In science, we use names to describe things with specificity. Sometimes, "scientific names" are just normal everyday names. For example, no scientist would ever dream of using the term "dihydrogen monoxide" to describe water- we just call water "water" and yet "dihydrogen monoxide" would certainly be accurate. Calling the digestive system "the digestive system" is just about as scientific as it needs to be.
