"Food" itself doesn't reach all organs. But energy in the food and stored in the form of chemical bonds during digestion, does. When it gets to the cells in organs and muscles, and any other tissues that need it, the bonds are broken down to release the energy. The cells/tissues then use the energy to reproduce, or to carry out the various functions that are the specialty of those cells/tissues.
