If you do a search “are lymph nodes organs” there are many references saying they are. Maybe the whole lymphatic system are considered an organ and that is why they are called that.

My interpretation is the lymphatic system is comprised of lymph nodes (organs), lymph fluid (tissue?), lymph vessels etc. (my 1960’s biology classes).
Interesting article Jeff, thanks.
