Glands are organs.

Explanation:

The organ called the liver is a gland. It has many functions, but one is secreting bile for helping digest fats in the small intestine. The definition of an organ is a structure composed of two or more types of tissue (epithelial, connective, muscle, or nervous). I hope that helps!
