An organ that connects a fetus to its mother, providing it with nutrients and removing waste

Real World Example

Imagine trying to charge your phone while also transferring photos to your computer. The USB cable acts as both a power source and a data conduit, much like the placenta does for a fetus. Just as the cable supplies energy to your phone and facilitates the transfer of files, the placenta delivers nutrients to the fetus and removes waste, ensuring all necessary exchanges are efficiently managed.
