Segmented worms comes under the phylum Annelida are so named because of their elongated, more or less cylindrical bodies divided by grooves into a series of ringlike segments. Perhaps the most familiar examples of segmented worms are the common earthworms or night crawlers, and the fresswater leeches. Actually, the more numerous and typical members of the phylum are marine, crawling or hiding under rocks, or living in burrows, or in tubes, or in the sediment.There are approximately 15,000 living species of annelids, placed in three major classes: the Polychaeta (mostly marine), the Oligochaeta (mostly terrestrial), and the Hirudinea (mostly freshwater).
