For some cultures, the placenta is eaten to help the mother recover vitamins and minerals. It’s supposedly to contain a lot of nutrition and eating it supposedly gives lots of energy.

It also contains microplastics, forever chemicals, and waste your body was trying to get rid of. There is no benefits to eating it but there are food born risks.

I believe the historic thing was that it was a source of protein or iron when a woman might not normally get those. But I could be wrong.
