What does the large intestine do?

After the absorption of the nutrients in the small intestine, the 1.5m long large intestine absorbs water from the remaining undigested food and converts it into a solid mass. The solid mass of waste matter is stored in the lowermost part of the large intestine, the rectum, and is then excreted as 'stools' through the anus.
