The largest human external organ is skin.
The largest human internal organ is the liver.
Explanation:
Skin, also known as the epidermis, is the body's largest organ. Its main function is to provide a barrier against our environment. It keeps pathogens from entering our bodies, and regulates our temperature. It accounts for about 16% of your total body weight.
Your liver is your largest & heaviest internal organ. It filters blood as it circulates through your body, and regulates the amount of sugar, protein & fat in your bloodstream. It also removes toxins, and is responsible for metabolizing/processing most of the nutrients that enter your body during digestion.
