What is a appedix?

You may hear of the appendix as a rudimentary structure in humans, and in smaller animals the appendix may be known as the caecum. Basically, the appendix is a small piece of tissue that forms a tiny pouch in the large intestine, near the junction of the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. It has no real known function in humans and is thought to have had a function in more primitive stages of our evolution. The appendix is also susceptible to blockage, and due to continued secretion by the glands located in the walls of the appendix, this may result in appendicitis, which has the potential to be fatal if left untreated.

How are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection?

Yes, because vestigial structures can be harmful. For example, some humans are now born without an appendix which ensures they will not be killed via appendicitis.
