plants and animals are both living things.
The appendix in cows is an organ that has no known function in their digestive system. It is believed to be a vestigial structure, similar to the appendix in humans, which may have had a role in digestion in ancestral species but is no longer necessary.
Humans have tail bones are are vestigial. When humans stopped using tails, over several generations, they began to shrink, and now we are left with tail bones. However, there have been cases of people who were born with vestigial tails several centimeters long. An example of a vestigial organ is the appendix.
The blind mole rat has a thin layer of skin covering its eyes, which is considered to be vestigial. There are also cavefish which have eyes that are vestigial. (There are also other vestigial traits in other animals that do not burrow.)
The appendix is a vestigial organ.
A vestigial organ is an organ that has no beneficial use to an organism. Ex. Tail bone in Humans
The appendix is the best example of a vestigial organ.

Vestigial means a very small remnant of something once larger. The appendix is a vestigial organ. Some people are born with vestigial tails.

a Vestigial organ is an organ of the body that doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose, but similar organs in other animals do. It is supposed that our early ancestors had use for the organ but now, as we have evolved, the organ has become redundant. As we continue to evolve, we may lose it altogether. If the theory of evolution is correct, then many animals could be found with vestigial organs. For many years, it was thought that the appendix was vestigial and served no purpose. It was believed to be a vestigial form of the caecum found in many herbivores. Indeed, it probably is. However, we now know that it is wrong to believe the human appendix has no function. It is very important in developing the immune system in foetus and young child and may have a role in recycling haemoglobin from dead red blood cells. But it certainly has lost its role in digestion. It is interesting that organs are sometimes described as vestigial, simply because the scientists haven't yet worked out their real use.

A vestigial is an organ that serves no useful function in an organism.
Vestigial refers to something that is no longer needed or useful. Our appendixes are an example of a vestigial organ-they serve no biological purpose
