Solution

The organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy and functions in the transport of oxygen and nutrients to the developing embryo is known as the placenta. It also removes wastes from the blood of the growing fetus. This structure attaches to the inner wall of the uterus and the umbilical cord develops from it.
