it's not an organ, it's actually your abdominal aortic artery - a very large (the largest in your body) artery that runs through the body...if you are fairly thin and small framed, you can sometimes feel a pulse from it or even see the pulse when lying flat on your back and looking at your upper abdomen.

That is your descending Aorta most likely. And most people have one. Some have them deeper from the surface than others, but what you describe is quite normal.

It's your heart. You are feeling the beating through the other organs.

Yes, it's a blood vessel...so that's why you can feel the pulse.

It's the aorta.
