The digestive process is important routine to maintaining the life of us human being. Groups of organs, such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, work together to perform this complex task. Digestion is the process of breaking down food from large molecules into small ones to make it easier for absorption. The three major steps involved in the digestive process are ingestion, digestion, and absorption.

Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, is the first step in the digestive process. After food enters the mouth, the teeth chew it. Saliva, which is produced by the salivary glands, plays a major role in breaking down the food into smaller pieces. These small pieces travel to the stomach through the esophagus.

In the stomach, the second step of the digestive process begins. When the chewed food reaches the bottom of the esophagus, a valve lets the food enter the stomach. Contraction of the stomach wall mixes the food. Acidic gastric juices, which are secreted by the gastric glands in the stomach, help in mixing the food and in turning it into partial liquid so it will have the ability to move into the small intestine. In the small intestine, enzymes are secreted, and digestion is completed.

The last step in the digestive process is absorption. Absorption takes place in the small intestine. The wall of the small intestine is lined with small, finger like projections called vilely. Small molecules of food are absorbed by the huge number of vilely. Somehow these absorbed molecules enter the bloodstream to be distributed throughout the whole body.
In conclusion, the digestive process involves three major steps: ingestion, digestion, and absorption. Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, helps to increase the surface are of the food particles and prepares them for digestion. In the stomach, digestion begins, and it continues until it reaches the small intestine, where absorption takes place. The digestive process maintains organisms' lives by providing them with energy needed for different functions.

It already IS an informative essay, but if you don't mind some proofreading: corrections are in parentheses:

The digestive process is (an) important routine, (critical) to maintaining (human) life. Groups of organs, such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, work together to perform this complex task. Digestion is the process of breaking down food from large molecules into small ones to make it easier for absorption (absorption easier). The three major steps involved in the digestive process are ingestion, digestion, and absorption.

Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, is the first step in the digestive process. After food enters the mouth, the teeth chew it. Saliva, which is produced by the salivary glands, plays a major role in breaking down the food into smaller pieces. These small pieces travel to the stomach through the esophagus.

In the stomach, the second step of the digestive process begins. When the chewed food reaches the bottom of the esophagus, a valve lets the food enter the stomach. Contraction of the stomach wall mixes the food. Acidic gastric juices, which are secreted by the gastric glands in the stomach, help in mixing the food and in turning it into partial liquid so it will have the ability to move into the small intestine. In the small intestine, enzymes are secreted, and digestion is completed.

The last step in the digestive process is absorption. Absorption takes place in the small intestine. The wall of the small intestine is lined with small, finger like projections called vilely. Small molecules of food are absorbed by the huge number(s) of vilely. Somehow these absorbed molecules enter the bloodstream to be distributed throughout the whole body.
In conclusion, the digestive process involves three major steps: ingestion, digestion, and absorption. Ingestion, which occurs in the mouth, helps to increase the surface are(a) of the food particles and prepares them for digestion. In the stomach, digestion begins, and it continues until it reaches the small intestine, where absorption takes place. The digestive process maintains organisms' lives by providing them with energy needed for different functions.

To answer your last question, all process essays ARE informative essays. They tell either how to do something or how something works. What you've written is an informative process analysis - see the following definitions, please.

"The information approach provides readers with thorough understanding of a process that they would
like to know something (or know more) about: how a friend settled on a particular college, how
earthquakes get started, or how a “gasahol” engine works. The process may also be one that readers
are unlikely or unable to perform themselves: how hang-gliders stay aloft, how lasers are used in
surgery, or how a photographer shoots an underwater scene in shark-infested waters. In informative process, the emphasis shifts from how-to-do-it instructions to how-it-is-done explanations. Readers should come away from informative-process writing with a general understanding of the principles involved in how something works or happens—whether it is a simple household appliance or a complex political crisis.
The informative process analysis may be classified as mechanical (how an instant camera works), scientific (how our lungs function), historical (how the United States came to suffer in Vietnam, what has been called its first defeat in war), natural (how rain clouds form), social (how women’s roles in society have changed), creative (how songs are written), or psychological (how dreams are interpreted).

I pretty sure that this is an informative essay. It informs people about digestion and tells us how something works, in this case the process of digestion. It is not being persuasive, so it's not a persuasive essay. I think you're all set. What makes you think this isn't an informative essay?
I took a communications class last year and we had to do informative speechs (same thing as an essay). A girl did hers on digestion, just like yours. I think a process essay is a type of informative essay.
