The large intestine primarily processes waste products from the digestive system, including undigested food remnants, dietary fiber, and dead bacteria. It absorbs water and electrolytes from these materials, forming solid waste or feces. Additionally, it may also contain waste products from the liver, such as bilirubin, which contributes to the color of stool. Ultimately, the large intestine plays a crucial role in waste elimination and maintaining fluid balance in the body.
