It has no modern function. It is thought to be a primitive remnant of some functioning part of the colon. It usually does not 'erupt', like a volcano, but it may burst if an infection goes undiagnosed.

The appendix is useless to modern man. However, there are some who believe that it was once used to help in the digestion of raw meat. Just google it!

appendix has no function (probably did for our ancestors many years ago) It erupts when it gets impacted with feces and infected and is not removed in time.

In quadrupeds appendix digests cellulose. In fully evolved humans it is a vestegeal part. If it gets infected it is surgically removed.
