The large intestine performs the vital functions of converting food into feces, absorbing essential vitamins produced by gut bacteria, and reclaiming water from feces. A slurry of digested food, known as chyme, enters the large intestine from the small intestine via the ileocecal sphincter.
the large intestine absorbs water and any other absorb able nutrients from your food, after these sending the other indigestible matter to the rectum (turning it into feces)
