it is peristalsis
It is digested by the acids in your stomach and then moved to your small intestine. In the small intestine the broken down food is carried into your bloodstream.

absorption
Food enters the small intestine first. It enters the duodenum in the small intestine.
Movement of food through the large intestine is caused by smooth muscle contraction called "peristalsis" the best way to describe this is to imagine how a snake moves its abdominal muscles to move.
The small intestine is where your food goes after the stomach. The small intestine digests your food, then sends it to the large intestine.
Food moves into the large intestine after it has been digested by the small intestine.
