\nHydrochloric acid (HCl) is produced in the stomach by specialized cells called parietal cells (also known as oxyntic cells) found in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. This acid creates a highly acidic environment necessary for protein digestion by the enzyme pepsin and for killing ingested microorganisms.
