Foundational Model of Anatomy distinguishes between Muscle organ and Muscle. What’s the difference between the two?
The word "muscle" is applied to both the organ and to the tissue.
Below is a decent quote from SEER explaining this (my emphasis added):
A whole skeletal muscle is considered an organ of the muscular system. Each organ or muscle consists of skeletal muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerve tissue, and blood or vascular tissue
If the word "muscle" is used on its own (i.e., without specifying "muscle tissue" or "skeletal muscle"), it is typically referring to the whole skeletal muscle organ.
Note: the word "bone" is used in a very similar manner.

In the context you state, seemingly nothing. "Muscle" is listed as a homonym of "Muscle organ". So it seems, for the sake of the website you like to, there is no difference (unless they are using homonym differently).
