Answer:
The kidneys are considered retroperitoneal organs, which means they sit behind a lining in the abdominal cavity, unlike all other abdominal organs.
Explanation:
So I would start by defining the word Retroperitoneal: means an area outside or behind the peritoneum. This means that the kidney is covered by peritoneum near or under the spinal cord ( ventral side).
Due to this position of the kidneys we say that kidneys are retroperitoneal body wise.
