You absorb nutrients in the small intestine. Your cecum absorbs water.
The small intestine is the primary region where food and water absorption occurs in the human body. It is further divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, with specialized structures like villi and microvilli to enhance absorption efficiency. Water absorption also occurs in the large intestine, primarily in the colon.
small intestine
If your asking about primary absorption in digestion and the absorption of nutrients into the body, then primary absorption is the first (primary) place in the body where nutrients are absorbed. In humans this takes place in the small intestines after the food has been broken down in the stomach and passed on to the small intestine.
very, it is the primary place for food absorption
Yes, the large intestine is the primary site for absorption of water in the digestive system. It absorbs water and salts from the indigestible food matter passed on from the small intestine, helping to form solid waste products (feces) for elimination.
Because a large percentage of the volume of undigested food is actually water, and the colon (large intestine) is a primary site of water absorption.
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver

The small intestine is where most nutrients are absorbed, but the large intestine is responsible for most water absorption
the absorption of water from absorbed food particles
The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach, while the intestines are responsible for the absorption of nutrients and water from the food.
