Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The role of the ascending colon is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the indigestible material, solidifying it to form stool. The descending colon stores feces that will eventually be emptied into the rectum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The formation of feces takes place in the large intestine. In the large intestine, water absorption occurs from undigested food, due to which it becomes semi-solid. This is known as feces or fecal matter. Feces are temporarily stored in the rectum and passed out from the body through the anus.
