No, the mouth does not absorb water in the way the intestines do. While the mucous membranes in the mouth can take in some moisture, most water absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal tract after swallowing. The primary role of the mouth is to begin the process of digestion and facilitate the swallowing of food and liquids.
