Solution

The placenta is a highly complex biological organ. It allows blood to flow from mother to baby, and back again. The mother's blood and the baby's blood are filtered through the placenta, but they never actually mix. The placenta has an important role in hormone production as well. It also protects the fetus from harmful bacteria and infections.
Problems with the placenta can affect the developing baby's growth. The baby cannot grow and develop normally in the womb if it does not get enough oxygen and nutrients. This increases the chances of complications during pregnancy and delivery.
