Cells:

The cells are the basic functional and structural unit of life. An organism can have either a single cell or multiple cells. If something lacks cellular organization, they cannot be considered as living. A cell is capable of performing all the functions essential for life.

Tissue:

The tissue is the group of cells performing similar functions and hasthe same structure. In a multicellular organism, they perform a particular role inthe maintenance of normal physiology.

Organ:

Many tissues together form organs. The organs are the cluster of tissues which perform a self-contained and self-vital function. Different tissues in the organs perform a different function, which is essential to carry out various physiological processes.

Organ system:

The organ system is the group of organs, which is involved in carrying out a specific physiological process. For example,the digestive system has various organs and is responsible for digestion in the organism.
