True hermaphrodites do have the sex organs of both sexes, but this is an extremely rare condition.
Most "hermaphrodites" are actually females with an over-developed clitoris. If an adult female takes large amounts of testosterone her clitoris will increase in size , up to 5-7 cm, and take on the appearance of a penis. Occasionally a female foetus is exposed to an abnormal amount of testosterone in the womb, and is born with a full-size penis and a vagina, but only a true hermaphrodite will have testicles AND ovaries. Only one set of these will be dominant though, and the other set will be atrophied.
