The tongue is important for various functions such as tasting, swallowing, and speaking. It helps manipulate food in the mouth during chewing and initiates the swallowing reflex by pushing food toward the throat. Additionally, the tongue plays a crucial role in articulating speech sounds by moving to different positions in the mouth.
