False.

Starch is a complex carbohydrate that needs to be broken down into simpler forms such as glucose, to be absorbed by the body. The digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the help of an enzyme called amylase, which is present in saliva. Amylase breaks down the starch into maltose, a disaccharide.

However, digestion of starch does not occur in the stomach. In fact, the stomach's acidic environment inhibits the activity of amylase. The stomach's main function is to break down proteins, not carbohydrates.

Digestion of starch resumes in the small intestine, where the pancreas secretes pancreatic amylase, which further breaks down the maltose into glucose. The glucose is then absorbed by the body through the walls of the small intestine and transported to the liver for further processing.

In conclusion, the digestion of starch begins in the mouth with the help of amylase in saliva, and then continues in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic amylase. The stomach does not play a significant role in the digestion of starch.
