Considered by who? I can see the heart being considered an organ although I don't agree with it (because it's nutritional value seems to be halfway between muscle and organ tissue) but I can't see tongue being considered an organ. It's totally a muscle. Organs by definition are "A group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions." - from
http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/OrganAlso from that site "Examples of animal organs are heart, lungs, brain, eye, stomach, spleen, bones, pancreas, kidneys, liver, intestines, skin, urinary bladder and sex organs."
So according to that site the heart is an organ but not the tongue, which I agree with.
