The assertion is true as ruminants, such as cows, sheep, and goats, have stomachs divided into four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Each compartment plays a specific role in the digestion of plant material.The reason is also true and provides an explanation for the assertion.
