Organs like the appendix that have no essential function in the body are called vestigial organs. These structures are remnants of evolutionary ancestors and may have had a significant role in past species. While they may not serve a critical purpose today, some vestigial organs can still have minor functions. The appendix, for example, is thought to play a role in gut flora management.
