The liver is an accessory organ but not an intestine. An intestine is an organ that the food from the stomach (at this point called chyme) passes through. The food doesn't pass through the liver but this organ is very important for digestion; it produces enzymes that help breakdown proteins and carbohydrates, and bile that breaks apart globs of fat. It also stores up the nutrients that the intestines absorb.
The liver is not situated in the intestines, but it is a part of the gastrointestinal tract. All parts of the gastrointestinal tract help humans digest food. In humans, the liver is situated just below the diaphragm and to the right side of the stomach. The liver does make the bile that is eventually delivered to the small intestines, though, and this bile is used to help break down food.
The pancreas is actually an accessory organ of the digestive tract, and it plays a major role in assisting digestion in the small intestine. It's a fascinating organ, as it is also our body's producer of insulin and glucagon, which are essential hormones for blood sugar regulation.
The liver helps with digestion while it goes through the intestines.
