Stomach secretions are made up ofhydrochloric acid, several enzymes, and a mucus coating that protects the lining of yourstomach. Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. It also eliminates bacteria and viruses in the stomach, protecting your body from infection.

The hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice breaks down the food and the digestive enzymes split up the proteins.
HCl is an acid present in the stomach which helps to kill bateria that is present in the food that had been swallowed and waiting for digestion.
In terms of digestion, it provide hydrogen ion which activates pepsinogen into pepsin.
HCl gives the stomach its acidic medium that enables digestion of proteins in the stomach.
