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.

Why is there 2 lobes on the left lung and 3 lobes on the right?

There are two lungs simply called the left and right lungs. These large structures take up most of the Thoracic Cavity which changes tize in order to pull air in or push it out of the lung. The right lung has three Lobes (parts that sit on top of each other) While the left lung has only 2. This is because the left ventricle of the heart sits over to the left and takes up some of the space the left lung would otherwise inhabit. The left lung has a curved gap for the heart called the Cardiac Notch.because the heart is there
