The appendix is found in higher apes, wombats, opossums, rabbits, some rodents, and a few lower mammals. So, no.

What is the function of appendix in an animal digestive system?
I think in humans the appendix is vestigial (does nothing much) but in most herbivores it is involved n the digeston of cellulose
Why is appendix non functional in humans?
The appendix is a finger-like appendage attached to the stomach which has become redundant in the evolution of humans. If an infection occurs to the appendix - a life threatening appendicitis will need a surgical operation. I believe it is one of the stomachs used by herbivores.

Some bacteria benefit mammals by helping with?
One good benefit for herbivores is relative to the appendix. Plant's have different cells to animals in that they have a cell wall, which is made up of cellulose. Mammals typically have difficulty digesting this material and it can lower the amount of nutrition absorbed from their food. Herbivores tend to have a relatively large appendix and this provides a 'safe house' for bacteria to colonise, within the bacteria colony are bacteria who can digest cellulose, allowing the mammal to benefit from extra nutritional absorption. As a side note, evolution predicts this trend in the size of the appendix and easily explains why herbivores have a larger appendix than carnivores or omnivores.
