Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine, also called as the colon or the large bowel, is the last part of the digestive system. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as feces before being removed by defecation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The small intestine absorbs food nutrients. The waste is pushed into the large bowel where water is removed. The resulting faeces (poo or bowel motions) are temporarily stored in the rectum before being expelled from the body via the anus.

Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum. Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -The passage of undigested food material from the body by way of the anus is called egestion. Egestion is the last step in the process of digestion in humans. The undigested food coming from the small intestine stays in the rectum and then passes out from the body via the anus.
