because it also help you to digest food and it is like an enzyme.
Digest is a strong word so I am going to say no. Saliva can helps breakdown food compound but it is in fact not strong enough to fully breakdown or "digest" food. In fact, teeth and chewing helps saliva in breaking food down. Also, saliva can only breakdown carbohydrates compound. Proteins, fats and fibres need stronger and different enzyme. PS: saliva is essentially an enzyme
it is a little circular shaped part of the digestive system that helps break down food to make it easier for you to digest.

Its PEPSIN. Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides (that is, a protease). It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
