Rectum is the last part of the large intestine where the undigested food or feces is stored before passing out through anus. During this period the large intestine removes water and electrolytes from the undigested food. Then convert it into solid waste which can be excreted from body.
Where is undigested food stored?
Most of the food is digested in the stomach and small intestine but the remaining undigested food material is then transferred to the large intestine. In the large intestine, the water is absorbed and the remaining undigested food is stored in its lower region called the rectum.
Where is the undigested food stored before Egestion?
The liver also helps process nutrients in the bloodstream. From the small intestine, undigested food (and some water) travels to the large intestine through a muscular ring or valve that prevents food from returning to the small intestine.
