That's called the process of absorption. The biological processes that allow absorption are diffusion and osmosis.
Nutrients from digested food move from the digestive system directly into the bloodstream. Specifically, they are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine, where they enter capillaries and are transported to the liver for processing. From the liver, these nutrients are distributed to cells throughout the body to be used for energy, growth, and repair.
Small intestine
No absorbtion is when the vitimins and minerals from your food are absorbed (move through the Partially permiable membrane which is your get wall) into you blood steam. This is how your body gets the nutrients from your food. Food is moved through your digestive system by your gut pushing it along. Hope this helps!

Osmosis in the digestive system helps in the absorption of water and nutrients from the intestine into the bloodstream. As digested food particles move through the small intestine, water follows via osmosis to maintain the balance of fluid inside and outside the intestine. This process is crucial for proper nutrient absorption and maintaining hydration levels in the body.
Diffusion occurs in the respiratory system, where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange happens in the lungs. It also occurs in the digestive system, where nutrients pass through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Additionally, diffusion takes place in the circulatory system, where gases and nutrients move between blood and tissues at the capillaries.
As food moves through the human digestive system, nutrients are broken down into their simplest forms, allowing for absorption primarily in the small intestine. Carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars, proteins into amino acids, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These nutrients then enter the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body for energy, growth, and repair. The remaining undigested material is eventually eliminated from the body.
The digestive system has smooth muscle through out it, and they help move the food.
As our body works now, we would surely die without our digestive system! It is through our digestive system that we get the nutrients for all of the basic functions of our body. Without these nutrients would not be able to grow, move, repair damaged tissue or even breathe! However, I'd like to think humans could evolve some other way to get energy and nutrients to grow.... Maybe photosynthesis?? :)
