The tongue aids in moving food in the mouth, chewing and swallowing. It rolls food into balls and pushes them to the back of the buccal cavity for swallowing. It can help you get food out of your teeth.
The sense of taste begins with taste receptors on the tongue. Taste buds are found on the upper part.
It gives us the ability to speak and pronounce words.
