An organ that connects a fetus to its mother, providing it with nutrients and removing waste
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a party, and you're the host, constantly making sure your guests have enough food and drinks while also cleaning up after them. The placenta acts like a perfect party host for the fetus, ensuring it receives all the necessary nutrients and efficiently removes any waste. Just as a good host maintains a seamless flow of resources and cleanliness for their guests, the placenta maintains the essential life-supporting processes between the mother and the developing fetus.
