Mainly the re absorption of water back into the body(bloodstream) In the processes of digestion your digestive system has probably used about a litre(quart) of water (in the saliva, stomach juices, intestinal juices) which was secreted into the food for digestion, the Large int. serves to reclaim most of this water.
Also, a type of good bacteria is found in the l.i. and may produce some beneficial vitamins
Its primary function is to absorb water from the remaining undigested food, and to prepare it to be eliminated from the body as feces.
It absorbs water and houses bacteria that help digest our food. Also some bacteria in the intestine secrete vitamins for our body.
