Egestion

Any indigestible food (e.g. fibre) passes into the large intestine (colon).

Water is absorbed back into the body.

Where has this water come from?

The food becomes a solid waste called faeces.

Faeces are stored in the rectum and removed through the anus. This removal is called EGESTION.
