Answer

Digestion is the process by which food is broken down into simpler substances that can be absorbed by the body. This involves both mechanical breakdown (like chewing) and chemical breakdown (using enzymes).

Egestion is the process of eliminating undigested or unabsorbed material from the body, typically as feces.
