Why is the Bucky ball included in organic chemistry?

This is called buckminsterfullerene and it has nothing to do with the Bucky Balls that are strong magnets. This a structure of interlocking hexagons and pentagons, identical to those of a soccer ball. Because this idea was inspired by the geodesic dome, they named this C60 allotrope of carbon, buckminsterfullerene. Since it is composed of carbon, it is a part of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon and the other elements that it is found with.
