I think that the answer is the mouth.

Food cannot reach the stomach without the pharynx and the esophagus, which work together to guide food from the mouth to the stomach through swallowing and peristalsis. The pharynx directs the food into the esophagus, which then transports it further. This collaboration is essential for effective digestion.
