Undigested material entering the colon primarily consists of dietary fiber, dead cells, and unabsorbed nutrients. In the colon, this material undergoes fermentation by gut bacteria, which produces short-chain fatty acids and gases. The colon also absorbs water and electrolytes from this material, forming solid waste. Ultimately, the remaining waste is stored in the rectum until it is excreted.
