When digested food passes into the large intestine, a lot of the water is removed until we produce the soft solid we call faeces. If the process is disturbed for some reason it can result in diarrhoea . That results in our losing a lot more water than usual, which is why it is important to take plenty of fluids during a stomach upset to avoid dehydration.

Vacuoles store waste in plant cells and lysosomes store waste in animal cells until it can be removed from the cell.
The organ that changes liquid waste to feces is the large intestine, also known as the colon. It absorbs water and electrolytes from the liquid waste produced in the digestive process, transforming it into a more solid form. The remaining waste is then stored in the rectum until it is eliminated from the body. This process is crucial for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance.
