No. The structures that grow from the body are called 'appendages'. In 'invertebrates' (animals without a backbone or spine, broadly speaking), they include antennae, wings, legs etc. while in 'vertebrates'(animals having a spine, e.g. humans) they include the limbs. Spiracles on the other hand are small openings on the bodies of a few animals that are connected to the respiratory system of the animal and these are used for 'breathing'. Their function is quite similar to that of the nostrils in humans.
