Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine is much broader than the small intestine and takes a much straighter path through your belly, or abdomen. The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over.
Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine is about six feet long-much shorter than the small intestine, which is 22 feet. It’s called the large intestine because it’s wider-about three inches, while the small intestine is only one inch in diameter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Large intestine is larger in diameter than small intestine because most of the absorption of food and digestion of food occurs in the small intestine while in the large intestine only water and some salts are absorbed here, so larger surface area is needed to absorb more water.
