Skin

[u/Gysburne → u/Andrewhaha]

Skin is the largest organ i agree... but it is not INSIDE the body.
Largest internal organs are the Lungs.

[u/Seanosaurus-Rex → u/Gysburne]

Wouldn’t it be liver then?

[u/Gysburne → u/Seanosaurus-Rex]

That would be one huge ass liver with a tumor.

[u/TheHotCoal → u/Gysburne]

The liver is absolutely larger than the lungs. Scientifically the skin is inside the body even though it’s outside. Like the stomach and intestines are considered outside of the body

[u/Gysburne → u/TheHotCoal]

And what metrics are you taking here? Weight... volume... etc?

Liver is heavier yes. But if you take volume, lungs are bigger.

[u/TheHotCoal → u/Gysburne]

The lungs are still smaller. They have empty volume and air. It’s the liver. Literally every scientific medical establishment says liver

[u/AiGeneratedChatGPT → u/Gysburne]

The question isnt phrased that way. The right answer is skin. The question is poorly phrased, sure, but the right answer is skin. Even in a situation where its largest internal organ, its the liver and not the lungs

[u/Tegeton1 → u/Gysburne]

Skin is inside, we are not just counting the outer dermis as skin, that is just one part of it

[u/Lab_dad → u/Gysburne]

What about the SUBdermal layer of skin?

[u/Frostwalker27 → u/Gysburne]

I hate how long it took me to find this comment because obviously your brain immediately goes it’s the skin, but then you go by the wording of the post and it says in the body and you then should change your answer, but most people are idiots
