Q
  • Segmented worms: displays a metameric body plan
  • 15,000 species
  • Worldwide distribution. 1 class is chiefly marine, the rest are freshwater
    and terrestrial.
  • Most free-living, some symbiotic, some ectoparasitic
  • Bilaterally symmetrical, often with distinct head
  • Triploblastic
