Which structure contains lymphatic nodules and is part of the immune system?

Lymphatic nodules are clusters of lymphoid tissue that participate in immune responses. The appendix contains rich gut-associated lymphoid tissue, with many lymphatic nodules in its wall, so it functions as part of the immune system. The other organs listed are primarily involved in digestion, metabolism, or filtration and do not feature lymphatic nodules as a defining immune structure.
