The integumentary system primarily consists of the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. One of its key functions is to act as a barrier and protect the body from external damage, pathogens, and dehydration. While the integumentary system does have roles in processes such as sensation and temperature regulation, it does not specifically "form blood clots," "absorb water," "grow new tissue" as its primary function, or "break down chemical bonds in food."

If the question is looking for a relevant function of the integumentary system from the options provided, none of them directly correlate, but the system does play a role in wound healing and tissue regeneration, which might be loosely connected to "growing new tissue."
