This is what I know! Tusks help the elephants defend themselves. They can also use their tusks to dig up plants, salt, minerals that they eat, or dig holes in the sand. Elephants favor their left or right tusk just like humans favor either their left or right hand.The real superhero for the elephants would be the trunk. The trunk which contains 50,000 muscles has so many advantages in store for the elephant. Such as nose for smelling and breathing, Also the tip of the trunk is sensitive so it can curl and can pick up objects as small as a toothpick. The trunk as you can tell is very strong. Strong enough to uproot a tree. Elephants also can use their trunks to smack opponents, throw objects, and even to use them as snorkels when going underwater.

Someone did not read the question, which relates to reproduction... I hope that same someone remembers to read the questions in exams!
.
The answer is that as a mammal the elephant has its own versions of the primary reproductive organs and physiology of any other mammal, including humans. There are differences, in for example oestrus, but the basic reproductive structures in the elephant are still the testicles and penis in the male, and the vagina, womb and ovaries in the female.
