lymph/o is a combining form that refers to the “lymph” or “lymphatic system”.
As a part of the immune system, the lymphatic system works in conjunction with the circulatory system. Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymphatic organs, and lymphoid tissues are all part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system protects your body from illnesses, maintains fluid levels, absorbs digestive tract fat, and eliminates cellular waste.
