Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin and its derivatives (hair, nails, sweat and oil glands) make up the integumentary system. One of the main functions of the skin is protection. It protects the body from external factors such as bacteria, chemicals, and temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skin is the largest organ of our body. The skin is made up of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutis. Our skin is a good indicator of our general health.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skin is the human body’s largest organ. Body organs aren’t all internal like the brain or the heart. There’s one we wear on the outside. Skin is our largest organ-adults carry some 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms) and 22 square feet (2 square meters) of it.

Detailed explanation-4: -The skin, comprising roughly 16% of your body mass, is thought to be your largest organ. As for the interstitium, “my estimate is that 20% of the volume of the body is this, which is equivalent to about 10 liters in a young adult.”
