The warty sea cucumber digests food by using its specialized feeding structure called the buccal tentacles to capture organic matter from the ocean floor. Once ingested, the food passes into its stomach, where enzymes break it down. The nutrients are then absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream. This process allows the sea cucumber to efficiently extract energy and essential nutrients from detritus and microorganisms in its environment.
