Explanation
An organ is a part of a living body that performs a specific and important function. Each organ has a special job, such as the heart pumping blood or the lungs helping with breathing. Organs work together to keep the body alive and healthy. The word organ is also used for a musical instrument that produces sound by pushing air through pipes. In both cases, an organ is something essential that supports a larger system.
