They are analogous organs because they both perform same functions, i.e holding objects but both the organs have different structural design.

trunk of an elephant and hand of a chimpanzee an example of analogous organs these organs have different Anatomical organs and basic structure but they do exhibit superficial similarities in appearance and perform similar function in different organism
it is a result of convergent evolution where different structure involved for same function in different organism for example Wings of butterfly and Bird
