Triglycerides are absorbed by the lacteals of the small intestine. Triglycerides go into the lymphatic system and are converted into chyle.
Lacteals are the specialized lymphatic capillaries of the small intestine which transfer fats from the digetive system into the blood. Chyle (pronounced Kyle) is milky fluid found in the lacteals formed by fat globules and lymph.
In the Digestive system
Foods are digested partly in the stomach, and nutrients absorbed from the mashed/wet foodstuffs in the intestines.

In the absorptive enterocyte of the small intestine.
Food is broken down or digested in the stomach but the nutrients are not absorbed in the stomach. Nutrients from digested food are primarily absorbed in the small intestine.
The acidity of the stomach allows for digestion. It helps to break down the foods so they can be digested and absorbed.
No, minerals, vitamins and water do not need to be digested. The foods that contain them need to be. However, minerals, vitamins and water need to be absorbed by the body into the bloodstream.
Villi in the intestines increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients from digested food. They contain blood vessels and lacteals that help transport the absorbed nutrients to the bloodstream.
Foodstuff not digested or absorbed in body are usually excreted from the body.
Lacteals are lymphatic vessels found in small intestinal villi. While other nutrients such as amino acids and saccharides are absorbed into the blood stream, lacteals and the lymphatic system are used to absorb fats.
