What organ in the digestive system absorbs water?

Absorption of Dietary water is done in the Large Intestine or Colon. Once the nutrients have been removed by the small intestine the slurry that is left passes on to the large intestine where the water is removed. Water is also reabsorbed in the Nephron of the kidney. The start of the nephron filters the blood and takes a lot of the water from the plasma as well as salty, glucose and urea. In a part of the nephron called the Loop of Henle much of the water is reabsorbed. Therefore, the best answer is the Colon/Large Intestine but also water re absorption occurs in the kidney.
