Water is primarily absorbed in two places:

1) during digestion, water is primarily absorbed in the small intestine (90%), the remaining water (10%) is absorbed by the large intestine.

2) during filtration of the blood in the kidneys, water is reabsorbed in the nephron

hope that points you in the right direction.

Does the body soak up water?

The body doesn't "soak up" water in the literal sense, but it does absorb water through various mechanisms. When you drink fluids, they enter the digestive system and are absorbed primarily in the intestines. From there, water enters the bloodstream and is distributed to cells and tissues, where it is used for hydration, metabolic processes, and maintaining bodily functions. Overall, proper hydration is essential for health, but the body regulates water balance through various physiological processes.

Organ that removes water?
