The mouth is a fascinating organ in and of itself, not least because its internal salivary glands produce so much saliva on a daily basis, which moistens the food and acts as a vehicle for the enzymes that break it down.
Here you can read about all of the enzymes--and their different roles--in the whole digestive process. You may also be interested in learning more about the fascinating green liquid known as bile--and what it means when you vomit it up when you’re ill.
The digestive system’s main role is to provide your body with nutrients in an absorbable form: here’s how it does that and here's another source that explains the small intestine’s starring role in that process. You might want to go a step further and understand how the body uses the nutrients given to it through digestion, and what kinds of foods provide the different types of nutrients.
