The anus is merely a sphincter, it cannot digest or absorb anything. It is possible to introduce substances through the anus into the large intestine, which does have the capacity to absorb water or substances dissolved in water; it does not have the capacity to digest anything, however. Digestion takes place in the stomach and the small intestines, not in the large intestines.
