Respiration is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide through numerous organs that vary based on the animals and their environment. The gills are the organs that assist the fish in breathing underwater.

Explanation: Instead of breathing oxygen, the fish absorb it from the water around them. This is a challenging task because air holds 33 times more oxygen than water, necessitating the use of a specialised organ for fish to breathe.

Fish have developed gills, a unique organ that allows them to breathe oxygen and overcome their oxygen-deficient environment. Fish collect oxygen from the surrounding water through their gills and deliver it to the bloodstream.
