I think that perhaps you mean the polypeptides, which is a polymer of many amino acids. The protein is broken down into polypeptides, which are in turn broken down into amino acids - the building blocks of pretty much all of the human body.

Why can protein and starch not be absorbed directly into the body?

Because starch is a polymer of sugar molecules (lots of them all bound together as a store of sugar) and the cells in the body can only metabolize individual sugar molecules. Therefore the starch needs to be broken up into its individual sugars before it is any use to the cells.

Why most food esten by humans must be digested before they can be used by the body?

Food must be digested before it can be used by the human body. This is due to the fact that food molecules are too big for the body to do anything with, so the body requires chemical and mechanical digestion to pull out the nutrients inside the food. Anything left over after the nutrients are used up is expelled from the body via the excretory system.
