The structure that reabsorbs excess water and forms feces is the large intestine, or colon. As the contents pass through the colon, water is reabsorbed into the body, while the remaining waste is compacted into feces. The colon also plays a role in the fermentation of undigested materials and the absorption of certain vitamins. Ultimately, the feces are stored in the rectum before being expelled from the body.
The large intestine, also known as the colon, is not located in the stomach but is connected to the stomach and small intestine. It primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, forms and stores feces, and plays a role in maintaining the balance of gut bacteria.
The colon absorbs water from undigested food waste so that the waste can be excreted as feces.
