Yes, the tongue plays a crucial role in dissolving food by mixing it with saliva, which contains enzymes that begin the digestion process. The tongue helps move food around in the mouth, allowing it to be chewed and broken down into smaller pieces. This mechanical action, combined with the chemical action of saliva, aids in dissolving food for easier swallowing and digestion.
