Large intestine absorbs much water from food.It so essential for us to excrete waste products out of our body in the form of faecal matter.And main thing is water which is essential for us should not be excreted.So we get a dry faecal matter.Other wise if it fails to do a watery motion occurs

What are the two divisions of the digestive system?
Digestive organs and the system in general can be divided into two parts: the accessory organs and the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal is the GI tract and the accessory organs are things like the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, and gallbladder.

How do animals get and digest food?
Insects have a complete digestive system this means food is procesed in a tube like enclosure, called the alimentary canal. When an insect eats saliva is being mix with the food. This is the first step off digesting. Next the food comes to the foregut, here you find int.al. the crop where food is stored until it can be processed futher. In some insects the crop end in the so called proventriculus where dentricles can grind the food Now the food reaches the midgut. Here enzyms are secreted and water and nutrients are absorbed. The hindgut is the last part of the digestive system in this part most of the water is absorbed (90%).
What is in the food that helps it pass through your gut?
I would say any liquid, either ingested or secreted, but in most part, peristalsis (the wavelike muscular contractions of the alimentary canal) of the gut does most of the contribution in allowing food to be passed through.
