Answer 1

Answer : the small intestine

Answer 2

small intestine

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the almost 10 liters of water that enter our stomach every day, 80-90% is absorbed by the small intestine. The remaining 10% (amounting to 1 liter of water) is passed on to the large intestine, which reabsorbs as much water as it can from the waste materials that are ready to be excreted out of the body as fecal matter.
