What Organs that are so reduced in size that they are just vestiges of homologous organs in other species are called?
Those organs are called vestigial organs. They are remnants of functional structures that were more developed in ancestral species but have decreased in size or usefulness in the current organism.
What is the term for structure that has no use in an organism?
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
How do vestigial structures work?
They don't, vestigial structures are biological structures with no known function that evolved from structures in distant ancestors that used to have a function that is no longer needed.

How do vestigial structures provide evidence that we evolved from organisms that existed in the past?
Vestigial structures are anatomical features that have lost their original function in an organism but are still present. These structures often have similarities to functional structures in related organisms, suggesting a shared evolutionary history. By studying these vestigial structures, scientists can infer how organisms have changed over time through the process of evolution.
