Solution
Bile is a digestive fluid that primarily emulsifies fats, breaking them into tiny droplets so they can be digested and absorbed. It also helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), neutralizes stomach acid in the small intestine, and excretes waste products like bilirubin and excess cholesterol.
