As a fetus gestates within its mother's womb, it is fed by a tube from a temporary organ called the placenta. The tube connects to the baby's belly. When the baby is born the tube is usually tied off and cut, and the remnant dries out and drops off in due course. The place where the umbilical cord was attached is called the navel or belly button.
