State and explain the role played by the liver in digestion of food

The liver's primary role in digestion is the production of bile. Bile is a fluid that is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine. Its main function is to emulsify fats, breaking down large fat globules into smaller ones. This increases the surface area for digestive enzymes called lipases to act upon, making fat digestion more efficient.
