The integumentary system primarily functions to protect the body, regulate temperature, and provide sensory information. Among the options you've provided, the closest function related to the integumentary system is "absorbs water," but this is not its main function. However, it does serve a role in water permeability and helps in preventing water loss through the skin.
The other options, such as "grows new tissue," "forms blood clots," and "breaks down chemical bonds in food," are more related to other systems in the body (such as the circulatory system or digestive system).
If you have to choose one from the listed options, "absorbs water" would be the most relevant answer, though it is an incomplete description of the integumentary system's functions.
