hermaphrodite
In zoology and botany, a hermaphrodite is an organism that possesses both male and female sex organs during its life[1]. In many species, hermaphroditism is a common part of the life-cycle. Generally, hermaphroditism occurs in the invertebrates, although it occurs in a fair number of fish, and to a lesser degree in other vertebrates.

Hermaphrodite is indeed the correct answer; why? In mythology Hermes and Aphrodite had a child and the child inherited the best parts of both the god and the goddess including their male and female genitalia. Herm(es)+Aphrodit(e).

Yes they can have both, though, in western countries, a gender assignment will take place very early in life. ˇhis person can have both male and female genitalia, but will not have male and female gonads. They cannot self impregnate and often are sterile
