Yes! On their tongue and throat they have them to help swallow slippery fish. These are pointed backwards to help swallow. Since penguins don't have teeth, this is like a replacement for them.

Does penguin directly swallow their food?

Penguins have backward-facing barbs covering their tongues which allows them to get a grip on potetially slippery fish, enabling them to swallow their food whole. However, adult penguins feed their chicks regurgitated food before they can hunt themselves -chicks place their beak inside their parents to stimulate this behaviour in order for them to feed.
