What type of digestion occur in the large intestine?

In the large intestine, primarily fermentation occurs rather than significant digestion. The large intestine houses a variety of bacteria that break down undigested carbohydrates and fibers, producing short-chain fatty acids and gases as byproducts. This process aids in nutrient absorption and contributes to overall gut health. However, the large intestine mainly functions in water absorption and the formation of feces rather than in the digestion of food.
