Further down the intestine, in the rectum, faeces are stored as waste before it is eliminated. Another function is to process undigestible material (fibre), which makes up the bulk of the waste products.
The food after digestion is in a liquid form and once it enters the large intestine, the large intestine tends to absorb all the water to give some consistency to the stools. So the main function of large intestine (colon) is absorption of water
Mainly to reduce the water percentage of the bowel content. It does this by absorbing the extra liquids and using them to function - such as fibre and water. Any excess water will be absorbed, or comes out as urine.
