The degenerated or partially developed useless organs in living organisms are called as Vestigial Organs.
Vestigial organs in human body are
- Appendix
- Tail bone ( coccyx )
- Muscles of ear pinna
- Body hair
- Wisdom teeth
Appendix is vestigial in humans but in ruminants ex. cattle it is still functional and is concerned with their digestion.
Muscles of ear pinna are vestigial in humans but are used for movement of ears by monkeys.
Body hair is vestigial in humans but it is important in animals ex. polar bear to keep him warm.
Hope you got your answer and mark me as brainliest if my answer helped you.
