Does graph api /organization endpoint only return one organization?

Question

Does graph api /organization endpoint only return one organization?
(aka can a user only be in one organization at a time?)

From this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/organization-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

"If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of one organization object in the response body."

It looks like there can only be one organization object. Is this true?

To add to this I am wondering why the api returns the organization object within an array. This seems to indicate that it might be possible that a user might have multiple organization objects?

@Karen Adams ,
Yes a user is natively part of thier parent organization and they can be given permission on resources in other organizations. For example when you invite someone from other directory to collaborate with you on your SharePoint instance, you will see external Identity or a personal account created in your organisation but they are reference objects and whenever that user tres to logon to your shsarepoint instance , your Azure AD instance will redirect them to get a token/authenticate from whereever the user's account was locally created. The GET method will give you an output as below where the id defines the organisation ID and the section details about the country , location , business phone quota and licenses available in the tenant/organization.

   {  
       "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#organization",  
       "value": [  
           {  
               "id": "xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",  
               "deletedDateTime": null,  
               "businessPhones": [  
                   "+919999999999"  
               ],  
               "city": "Bangalore",  
               "country": null,  
               "countryLetterCode": "IN",  
               "createdDateTime": "2014-09-23T04:48:27Z",  
               "directorySizeQuota": {  
                   "used": 849,  
                   "total": 300000  
               },
