Answer:

Because it is made up of organs that act as a system

Step-by-step explanation:

The integumentary system, skin, has been referred to as a membrane and an organ, but it is more commonly referred to as a system since it contains organs that operate together. Because it surrounds the body and comprises multiple types of tissues and a membrane, it is sometimes considered an organ.
