The main properties of an organ are a separate structure unit, a set of common unique functions and a unique main tissue. Skin does have these properties. It has a unique separate structure and a unique set of functions. In reality these features are more prominent in the skin than many other systems and organs which are associated with each other in structure and function. Many other organs in the body do not have a totally and completely separate structure or functione. e.g. the eye is considered a part of the brain, the circulatory system is very attached to the urinary system in the Bowmans capsule. The liver is attached to the alimentary tract and share a main common function which is digestion. Skin has very unique functions and it is separated from the underlying tissues and organs by the fascia.
