The human large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from leftover food material. However, it does not absorb certain substances, including dietary fiber, which passes through largely undigested. Additionally, any unabsorbed nutrients, undigested food particles, and gut bacteria are also not absorbed and contribute to the formation of feces. This process is essential for maintaining fluid balance and promoting gut health.
