Golgi Apparatus

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus as described in the question is an organelle with stacked cisternae. They look basically like pouches or pancakes stacked on top of each other. The role of the golgi appartus is like a sorting and packaging area of the cell. It transports lipids and proteins to specific areas of the cell. Before that, it will modify them specific to their intended function and then package them in vesicles for transportation.
