'Appendant' means attached or belonging to something as an accessory or subordinate part. Think of it like the tassel on a graduation cap🎓; it's connected but not essential. It describes something that depends on or is annexed to something else. It suggests a hierarchical relationship, where one thing is secondary or supplementary. Like a rider on a bill or law. It is not freestanding, but part of a bigger unit. It might not be necessary but still adds to the overall picture.
