The main job of the large intestine is to eliminate solid waste matter in the form of feces. The other important jobs that it does are: reabsorption of water and minerals (electrolytes) and some vitamins.

Where is water absorbed in digestive system?

The Small Intestines. The SMALL INTESTINES absorbs most of the water and most of the nutrients, and the colon's job is to absorb the rest of the water (the colon* does not greatly assist the body in nutrient absorption). Basically, the colon's function is to absorb any REMAINING water that the small intestines doesn't absorb. By the time the chyme ( partly digested food) reaches the large intestine more than 90% of the water has been absorbed by the body. The large intestine takes care of the remaining 10% of liquids and compacts waste for elimination.
