Recently, while on my usual documentaries watch, I learnt that the appendix may no longer be considered appendix.

From Wikipedia[1], “The appendix was once considered a vestigial organ, but this view has changed since the early 2000s. Research suggests that the appendix may serve an important purpose as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria.”
