The hilum is a triangular depression where blood vessels or nerves enter an organ. A bulky hilum in the left lung could indicate enlarged nodes or lyphoma.

What organ is under your left lung?

I will assume you mean the organ that makes the left lung slightly smaller than the right and causes the apparent dent in the medial side. This organ is the heart. The reason the heart only causes the space in the left lung is that the left ventricle is far larger than the right and protrudes into the space where the lung would otherwise grow. This is the reason that people mistakenly think the heart is in the left of the chest. In reality it sits directly behind the sternum (very center of the thorax) and only the left ventricle sticks over to the left.
