Carbon

Explanation:

All living organisms contain carbon in their body, because carbon is essentially the element of life. It can form up to four covalent bonds, and therefore can make so many complicated molecules while still being stable at the same time.

All organic molecules in your body, such as #"DNA"# bases and #"ATP"# contain carbon in their chemical formula.
