Answer;

Vestigial Structure

Explanation;

  • Vestigial Structure are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor.
  • Vestigial structures are normally homologous to structures that are functioning normally in other species and therefore may be considered evidence for evolution.
  • Other examples of vestigial structures include; the human appendix, the pelvic bone of a snake, and the wings of flightless birds.
