A lymphatic organ in which lymphocytes develop is your thymus. Undeveloped lymphocytes are made in the bone marrow and then travel to the thymus through your bloodstream. It develops completely after going through your spleen and the rest of the lymphatic system as well as the other organs for it to be complete.

Lymphatic organs can be found all over the body. Lymphatic tissue is distinguished by its structure. While different organs differ in their details, all have a very loose scaffolding of fibers called reticulated fibers, in which millions of lymphocytes are embedded Most of the disease-fighting function of the adult mammal is carried out by the lymph nodes. These are bean shaped, and occur along the lymph ducts. They serve as tiny filters, in which the lymphocytes actively attack any foreign substances that pass through the tiny spaces between cells.

Technically, yes. They are part of the reticuloendothelial system (an old phrase).

An organ is a collection of specialized tissue, so you can call it an organ if you like.

What are the small organs found on lymphatic vessels called?

Lymphatic vessels are vein-like tubes connected at one end to the tiny organs known as lymph nodes, which carry the lymph (serum full of white blood cells) from the lymph node to the heart. Lymphatic nodes are part of the Lymphatic System, which helps the Immune System fight against pathogens. Whenever you get sick with the flu or some similar virus, your lymph nodes can become swollen--this is why doctors feel the side of your throat when they check you over at an appointment! They're checking to see if your tonsils (lymph nodes in your throat) are swollen.
