Solution

The placenta carries out manyfunctions that are vital to the unborn baby's survival. Perhaps the mostimportant function is that it supplies the fetus with nutrients and removes wastes produced by the fetus. Specifically, we see that it transfers oxygen to the fetus and removes carbon dioxide and other waste products.
