Your skin is your largest organ. It covers your entire body and has a surface area of around 2 square metres. Its thickness varies from 0.5mm on your eyelids to 4mm or more on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. In total, it accounts for around 16 percent of your body weight.

Your Skin is an organ and is therefore the biggest, if you mean internal organs then it would be your liver

How can you say that the skin is an organ? It doesn't do anything - just sits there and sometimes flaps in the wind.
In my opinion an organ has to do a specific job like pump blood, breath air, filter blood, metabolize food, or make babies.
