The appendix has no known use. It is a small saclike organ that is attached to the large intestines.

i don't think it serves any purpose at all...
i could be wrong because i am not a Dr
but that is what i have heard and read before but i do know that if it ruptures you can die if you don't get it removed asap
hope this helped you and didn't just confuse you more
