Answer:

This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.
