Answer 2

${\mathfrak{\blue{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}}$

The large intestine is the thick, lower end of the digestive system, containing the appendix, colon and rectum.

Its function is to reabsorb water and maintains the fluid balance of the body. Certain vitamins are also taken in through the large intestinal well.

Further down the intestine, in the rectum, faeces are stored as waste before it is eliminated. Another function is to process indigestible 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.
