Mechanical digestion starts when food is chewed physically by the teeth (grinding and tearing the food), and the remaining steps of digestion continue from then on.
Mechanical Digestion (ex. chewing your food) and Chemical Digestion (ex. your spit breaking down the food). Those examples happen in the mouth, but both types happen elsewhere in the body, too.

Mechanical digestion must come first because it helps break down food
