The appendix is an offshoot of the first part of the large intestine and therefore in good position to destroy bacteria (which are present in large numbers in the intestine) it therefore prevents this bacteria from getting outside the intestine wall.
Basically, the appendix along with other groups of tissue (lymphoid tissue) helps protect the digestive tract from the huge amount of pathogens which enter it.

Digestive system.

Both the colon and the attached appendix are part of the digestive system. But the appendix has other functions that are not part of that system. It is thought by some that it may be involved in the immune system. Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by "rebooting" the digestive system. The team of immunologists at Duke University Medical Center say the human digestive system contains massive amounts of bacteria most of which are good and help the digestion of food.
The cecum and appendix in the digestive system serve as reservoirs for beneficial bacteria and aid in immune function.
The part of the digestive system that has no digestive function is called the esophagus. The esophagus is also known as the food pipe.
