You mean what causes Appendicitis( inflammation of the appendix) or what causes Appendix?

Appendix is a normal structure in the body of every human. It's part of the large intestine.

Re-phrase the question.

Ok.
The appendix is like a small tube with a tiny lumen, and is blind-ending. Anything that can block that tiny lumen can result in inflammation(appendicitis).
The following can cause it:
- A piece of faeces/faecal matter(faecolith)>>>commonest cause
- A swollen lymph node(the appendix contains some lymph nodes, which can swell up in response to an infection elsewhere, and block the tiny lumen).
- Foreign bodies eg, swallowed beads, unchewed/undigested seeds, etc, that missed their way into the appendix
- Worms(that are able to manoeuvre into the tiny lumen, and block it)
- Cancers of the Caecum or appendix itself
- Adhesions from previous surgeries causing kinking of the appendix
These are some of the most common causes.
