Answer:

PLEASE MARK ME BRAINLIEST!!!

Explanation:

It is True.

From  https://www.austincc.edu › rohde  :

"epiglottis - large , leaf-shaped piece of cartilage lying on top of larynx; during swallowing the larynx elevates, causing the epiglottis to fall on the glottis (opening into larynx) like a lid, closing it off - this prevents food from entering the windpipe (trachea)."

Hope I helped!
