Q. Assertion (A)Large intestine also shows the presence of villi. like small intestine.
Reason (R) Absorption of water, some salts and drugs are done by inner wall of large intestine.

AIIMSAIIMS 2016

Solution:

Most of the absorption is done by large intestine, due to presence of villi and brush borderded cells of its inner wall. Large intestine doesn't contain these type of structures so its main work is providing space and physical support for proper digestion by mixing enzymes.
