An organ that nourishes a fetus is called the
A
ovary
B
uterus
C
placenta
D
fallopian tube
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to a growing baby. It also removes waste products from the baby’s blood. The placenta attaches to the wall of the uterus, and the baby’s umbilical cord arises from it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fetal portion of the placenta is known as the villous chorion. The maternal portion is known as the decidua basalis. The two portions are held together by anchoring villi that are anchored to the decidua basalis by the cytotrophoblastic shell.

Detailed explanation-3: -This includes lots of iron-rich foods as the baby absorbs large amounts of iron from the maternal blood. Consuming nutrient-rich calories and iron rich foods will help to sustain a healthy placenta and prevent conditions such as iron-deficiency anaemia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The placenta is a fetal organ that exchanges nutrients, gases, and wastes between the maternal and fetal circulations and, thus, is crucial for the normal development and survival of the baby. The placenta is also a rich source of stem cells that are normally discarded after birth.
