The organ that transfers nutrients and oxygen to the fetus during pregnancy is the placenta. It connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall, allowing for the exchange of substances between maternal and fetal blood. Additionally, the placenta helps remove waste products from the fetus and plays a crucial role in hormone production to support pregnancy.
