1. Organic structure; organization. "The advantageous
organism of the eye." --Grew.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Biol.) An organized being; a living body, either
vegetable or animal, composed of different organs or parts
with functions which are separate, but mutually dependent,
and essential to the life of the individual.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Some of the lower forms of life are so simple in
structure as to be without organs, but are still called
organisms, since they have different parts analogous in
functions to the organs of higher plants and animals.
[1913 Webster] organismal
