And we really have no clue what its function is.

Yeah, we have at least 48 additional species that are potentially new to science that require further study. And there's also many species that are known but are really rare and threatened, many of them actually critically endangered, according to the IUCN Red List of Species, which is the highest threat level they could be in.

Well, that's hard to say. And of course, the discovery of new species doesn't necessarily change their conservation status, but it does help us to understand where things live, what things might have restricted ranges and be threatened with extinction, and ultimately to come up with better ways to make sure that they continue to survive into the future.
