to provide structural support to our organs

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue lines the surfaces of organs and body cavities. Its main functions include covering and protecting organs, as well as participating in absorption and secretion processes. Structural support is mainly provided by connective tissue, temperature - regulation by the integumentary system's mechanisms like sweating and vasoconstriction/dilation, oxygen transport by blood in the circulatory system, and structural support to organs is also more a function of connective tissue.
