Answer:

The human appendix may be considered as a vestigial organ as it has been proved that the removal of the organ after infancy does not create any harm. Vestigial in that sense means that the vermiform appendix seemingly has no functions or is useless now but they might have had functions previously which are lost someway due to evolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vestigial organs are organs, tissues or cells in a body which are not functional anymore the way they were in their ancestral form of the trait. It is therefore authentication of evolution and hence were helpful in explaining adaptation.
