Vestigiality describes homologous characters of organisms that have seemingly lost all or most of their original function in a species through evolution.
A penguin uses its wings to 'fly' underwater, the animal being aqua-dynamic; an eagle uses its wings to fly in air, the animal being aerodynamic.
Neither sets of wings are vestigial structures.
