Excrement is the waste material that is expelled from the digestive system of animals, including humans. It consists of undigested food, bacteria, and other substances that the body cannot use. This waste is typically solid or semi-solid and is eliminated through the anus. In nature, excrement plays a vital role in ecosystems. It can serve as fertilizer, enriching the soil with nutrients that help plants grow. Additionally, many animals, such as earthworms and dung beetles, feed on excrement, contributing to nutrient recycling and maintaining ecological balance.
