Excretion is important for living things because a build up of the waste products from these chemical reactions is very dangerous for the body because it can, in excess, be poisonous. Be careful though, faeces is NOT excretion.
If these waste substances accumulate in the body, it would poison body cells and this would result in the death of the organism. Hence it is important for our body to get rid of these toxic waste products. The elimination of metabolic wastes, excess of salts and water from the body is called EXCRETION.
