Morphology
The meaning is fully compositional: combining 'female' (of a woman), 'genital' (relating to reproductive organs) and 'organ' (a body part performing a function) yields ‘a reproductive/sex organ of a female’ directly. Although 'organ' can sometimes denote internal structures, the modifier 'genital' narrows the reference to reproductive/external parts (vulva), and this modifier + noun pattern is cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The term female genital organ is a plain name: female means 'a woman', genital refers to parts used for making babies, and organ means a body part, so the phrase names the external sex parts of a woman.
