Here's why:

* Connection: The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall of the mother.

* Nutrient Exchange: It acts as a bridge for the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between the mother and the fetus.

* Waste Removal: The placenta also removes waste products from the fetal blood and passes them to the mother's system for disposal.
