The pharynx is protected by the simplest lymphoid organ known as the tonsils. The tonsils are classified as secondary lymphoid organs, and contain follicles and have germinal centers.
Lymphoid tissue is what makes lymphoid organs so to answer your question, yes.
The primary lymphoid organs in the body are the lymph nodes. This is incorrect. Primary lymphatic organs are site where stem cells divide and become immunocompetent, capable of mounting an immune response. Therefore the primary lymphatic organs are the Red bone Marrow, in flat bones and epiphyses of long bones, and in the Thymus.
Secondary lymphoid organs and tissues are the sites where lymphocytes are most active. The white pulp of the spleen is the common site for plasma cells to develop. Macrophages are also active in the spleen red pulp; where they engulf blood-borne antigens to be presented to T lymphocytes in the circulation.
The tonsils are lymphoid organs that are part of the Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissues or MALT. They remove pathogens entering the pharynx or throat.
Lymphoid tissue is found in many organs, particularly the lymph nodes, and in the lymphoid follicles associated with the digestive system such as the tonsils
