What are the purposes of appendices?

Answer 1

There are two types of appendices. One is the appendix found in a human body and the other is the appendix found at the end of a book. The appendix in the human body is widely accepted as a seemingly useless organ. Scientists have yet to find an explicit purpose for the appendix. Today most scientists believe it produces and stores bacteria that is useful to your body. The appendix found at the end of a document often serves as an addition to the text. This addition has information that is relevant to the text but not focused on the topic of the text.
