Usually some organs work together (like the esophagus and the stomach or the kidneys and the bladder) to achieve the same function, which is why organs are put into systems based on their functions. This also helps so that people, even if they don't know an organ's specific function, can still know it's basic function.
Because their components perform tasks or functions that are closely related. For example, the digestive system involves many organs, and the boundaries that distinguish one organ from another are somewhat arbitrary. For example, the alimentary canal can be thought of as one long tract (does that make it one organ?), but the oropharynx clearly serves a different function from the descending colon. Similarly, the small intestine differs significantly from the large intestine. And organs such as the gall bladder are clearly different from the intestine, but they are also obviously involved in digestion.

As the old song goes, "the hip bone's connected to the leg bone." All organ systems interact with each other directly or indirectly, but the distinctions are created by human beings based on our understanding of related functions.

There are several organs in a organ system they all do certain jobs. Take the digestive system for example there is the mouth and teeth the mouth is the organ that takes in the food then the teeth break this food down and so forth and so forth wit the different organs of any system.

Because Hippocrates figured out that organs were life sustaining objects in the body. He named them organs and learned at all organs had to have blood and oxygen. Amazing what they learn about how the body was designed way back in the Greek and Roman ages about the human body. Now, if you want my real answer it would be because that is the way nature designed it or God designed it.

The actual answer is to assist in organizing a conceptual model of how an organism is made up. Generally just making it easier to understand and memorize. Cells that work together to accomplish a similar function are organized into a parent group of tissues. (then similarly, tissues that work together to accomplish a similar function are grouped into "organs"). The grouping is a generalization that is agreed upon amongst scientists to simplify the hierarchy of an organism (which actually can be taken to even higher levels - since organisms can work together to accomplish similar goals, etc...)

Tissues tend to develop as need dictates. If a particular "organ" lacks sufficient levels of cells accomplishing a particular necessary task, more of the appropriate tissue proliferates, filling the organ's need for some particular "service" or "substance".
