    largest organ, acting as a protective barrier and sensory interface

    Skin is the body's largest organ, serving as a protective barrier against environmental hazards, regulating temperature, and enabling sensory perception. It consists of three main layers: the epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer), and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer), each playing a crucial role in maintaining overall health and homeostasis.
