The organ in the digestive system that has a function most similar to the function of the bladder in the excretory system is the large intestine.
The bladder in the excretory system is responsible for storing and eliminating urine from the body. To find the organ in the digestive system that has a similar function, we need to identify an organ that stores and eliminates waste.
The closest match would be the large intestine. The large intestine, also known as the colon, is responsible for absorbing water from digested food, forming stool, and storing it until it is eliminated from the body through the rectum and anus. Similar to the bladder, which stores and eliminates urine, the large intestine stores and eliminates waste material from the digestive system. Therefore, the correct answer is the large intestine.
