because as it enters to the oesophagus it should really be digested or else or organs won't work properly

the above answer is correct, but can be improved. most foods must be digested forst, so that they can get into the cell. cells are very small and most foods are too big to even get through the cell membrane. therefore, the food must break down so they can fit through the cell membrane and proceed into the cell.
