The function of the integumentary system is primarily to **absorb water**. The integumentary system, which includes the skin, hair, and nails, serves several important functions, including protecting the body from external elements, regulating temperature, and allowing for sensory perception. While it does not directly break down food, form blood clots, or grow new tissue, it can help maintain hydration and protect underlying tissues.
