Segmented Worms Segmented worms belong to the phylum Annelida, a group of soft-sided animals that have symmetrical right and left sides. There are over 12,000 known species in the Annelida family, grouped into three categories: oligochaetes (earthworms and freshwater worms), hirudineans (leeches), and polychaetes (marine worms).egmented worms have a vessel above the gut that transports blood toward the head, and the blood is distributed throughout the body by other vessels that serve as hearts.

Earthworm An earthworm is a tube-shaped, segmented worm found in the phylum Annelida. Earthworms are commonly found living in soil, feeding on live and dead organic matter. An earthworm's digestive system runs through the length of its body. It conducts respiration through its skin. It has a double transport system composed of coelomic fluid that moves within the fluid-filled coelom and a simple, closed blood circulatory system.

Earthworm While, as the name earthworm suggests, the main habitat of earthworms is in soil, the situation is more complicated than that. The brandling worm Eisenia fetida lives in decaying plant matter and manure. Chemical: In addition to dead organic matter, the earthworm also ingests any other soil particles that are small enough—including sand grains up to 1/20 of an inch (1.25 mm)—into its gizzard, wherein those minute fragments of grit grind everything into a fine paste which is then digested in the intestine.

Annelida This class is more commonly known as earthworms. They have a clitellum, which is the bulge that forms during the reproductive part of their life cycle. There are around 8,000 species of clitellatas. They do not have parapodia and their heads are less developed unlike the polychaete.hysical Structure. Like the others, this phylum has a simpler name which in this case is ringed worms. A common ringed worm contains multiple segments that each have their own set of organs and a pair of feet-like structure, which can be used to help it move.

Phylum Platyhelminth Flatworms are the simplest of the worm groups. There are about 20,000 species in this group. They are found many places and can be free living or parasitic. A parasite lives off of another living thing called a host and can be harmful. One of the best known flatworms is the tapeworm.The tapeworm can get into a person's digestive tract and grow to enormous lengths. The tapeworm then eats off the host and is dangerous to the host as it grows and consumes more of the host and its food. Flatworms are found in marine and fresh water.latworms are the simplest of the worm groups. There are about 20,000 species in this group.
