Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine’s main job is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste (poop) to be excreted.

Detailed explanation-2: -The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The colon removes water and some nutrients and electrolytes from partially digested food. The remaining material, solid waste called stool, moves through the colon, is stored in the rectum, and leaves the body through the anus.

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.
