The organs which earlier performed a function but now do not perform any useful function in the body are called vestigial organs.

E.g. Appendix in human beings.

ZEUS1111: I beg to differ, the recent studies have shown that appendix does have a function of making helpful bacteria in the intestine
SquareRoot256: Perhaps yes, but as per the CBSE curriculum it is a vestigial organ.
anuska2772: i m in ICSE board and according to our book its written too that appendix is an vestigial organ
SquareRoot256: The recent studies have to be proven first. Currently they are just theories.
anuska2772: yup
