The stomach pouch of a jellyfish serves as the primary site for digestion. Once a jellyfish captures its prey using its tentacles, the prey is moved into the stomach pouch where it is broken down by enzymes. The nutrients from the digested prey are then absorbed through the stomach lining and distributed throughout the jellyfish's body to support its metabolic functions.
