Is there any villi in large intestine to absorb water as in small intestine for the absorption of food ?

Solution

no

The large intestine does not have villi like the small intestine. Absorption still takes place (different nutrients etc) but not like in the small intestine. The large intestine is home to the large population of friendly bacteria. They produce many beneficial nutrients for health.

This is just a very basic snapshot of villi in relation to the large intestine
