उत्तर
Liver
Explanation:
The liver is primarily classified as an accessory digestive organ and an exocrine gland. It releases its primary secretion (bile) through a dedicated duct system into the small intestine rather than secreting directly into the bloodstream. While it performs vital metabolic and filtration functions, it is not considered an organised endocrine gland.
