The mouth.

Explanation:

We intake food through the mouth, down the esophagus and into the stomach for processing. From the stomach it passes into the small intestine where roughly 90% of absorption and digestion takes place. The small intestine is where most of the nutrients and minerals from the food are taken up into the body. From there, it passes into the large intestine where water is absorbed.
