The stomach is an organ of digestion. It has a sac-like shape and is located between the esophagus and the intestines.

There is a major organ group called the Digestive System, comprised of many sections including the alimentary canal in which is a storage bag, so to speak, called the stomach. The stomach receives food from the esophagus, adds various enzymes, churns the contents to mix, and the resultant chyme is then squeezed, so to speak, into the small intestine. As it is a part of the body, specialized in a particular function; yes, it is an organ, particularly as it uses muscles to churn and pass the product of its work (chyme) along to the next contributor to digestion, the small intestine.

Yes. A very important organ. Look it up on Wikipedia for more detail.

As a structure that performs a specific biological function in support of the larger organism, yes, the stomach is an organ.

No, the stomach is an organ. Its "organ system" would be the digestive system.
