The liver and the pancreas are not called digestive organs because neither of them actually partake in digesting food. The liver actually stores glucose and turns it into energy when its needed and the pancreas creates insolin to control our sugar levels. So neither of them digest anything but they are called digestive because as I've just said they do partake in keeping our digestive system working properly
