The rectum.

After food is transported out of the stomach it first enters the small intestines and then the large intestines. The large intestines, or colon, consists of the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon (shaped like a sideways 'S') which ends with the rectum. Unless the rectum becomes overburdened, it will store the waste until it is voluntarily excreted via the anus.

The large intestine ends at the anus. Just before that, solid wastes are held in the colon (sometimes called the bowel).
