Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The statement “The esophagus is digestive in function” is true. The esophagus is a muscular hollow tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, making it the second major organ in the digestive system if ordering by function.

Detailed explanation-2: -The oesophagus acts as an organ for the conduction of food and no digestion occurs here.

Detailed explanation-3: -Digestion begins in the mouth, well before food reaches the stomach. When we see, smell, taste, or even imagine a tasty meal, our salivary glands in front of the ear, under the tongue, and near the lower jaw begin making saliva (spit).
