Example:
Imagine trying to pack away groceries into an already full refrigerator. Just like trying to fit everything neatly by removing unnecessary packaging to save space, the large intestine removes excess water from undigested food to make the waste more compact. In both cases, the goal is to efficiently manage space—by taking out water, the large intestine reduces the bulk of waste, similar to how removing packaging reduces clutter, making everything fit better.
