If a fetus's villi tissue ruptured the maternal tissue of the placenta would be damaged, causing bleeding.

The placenta is developed in the uterus during the pregnancy. This structure provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removes waste products from the baby's blood.

The diagram clearly shows the position of placenta around the baby and is considered as its protection.
