Detailed explanation-1: -Grasshoppers excrete waste through their rectum as waste and urea. They do not have two different areas that excrete waste like humans and other animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Malpighian tubule system is a type of excretory and osmoregulatory system found in some insects, myriapods, arachnids and tardigrades.

Detailed explanation-3: -The grasshopper’s tubules, as with other insect Malpighian tubules, discharge into the posterior region of the gut tube (the hindgut) and function in a similar fashion to the kidneys of higher terrestrial animals. In contrast, aquatic insects eliminate nitrogenous wastes as ammonia using nephridia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The excretory organs of grasshopper are the malpighian tubules which are coiled about in the haemocoel and open into the anterior end of the hindgut. The malpighian tubules have a wall of a single layer of cells with striated inner border.
