Detailed Solution

The alimentary canal is associated with the digestive tract, whereas the trachea is a part of the respiratory system. As the food moves down the throat, the food pipe and windpipe are present. It travels through the food pipe to the stomach for digestion. The air taken in traverses the windpipe to reach the lungs for respiration. The trachea or the windpipe has the bronchi, which carry the fresh air to the lungs. The mouth and oesophagus are a part of the alimentary canal and are the path to the stomach. But trachea carries air to the lungs, so it is not a part of the alimentary canal.
