organ

Heart or liver

An organ is a part of a living body that performs a specific function—the heart pumps blood, the liver filters toxins, the brain processes thought.

Vital organs are essential for survival.

The word extends to musical instruments: a pipe organ produces sound by forcing air through tubes, while an electronic organ simulates this.

An organ of government or organization is a body that carries out particular functions: the official organ of the Communist Party.

Organic relates to living things or, in food, production without synthetic chemicals.
