Tapeworms are a group of parasitic worms that live in the intestinal tracts of some animals. Several different species of tapeworms can infect humans.
Tapeworms are all in the class Cestoda, which includes fourteen separate orders. Of the tapeworms that most commonly infect humans, Taenia solium, T. saginata and Hymenolepis nana are in the order Cyclophyllidea, and Diphyllobothrium latum is in the order Pseudophyllidea.

Many parasites, such as various types of worms, are highly opportunistic, meaning they will infect any warm body they can get into. I have never heard of "wolf worms," so cannot tell you for certain if, like tapeworms and roundworms, these can also infect people.
No, stomach acids do not kill tapeworms. Tapeworms are adapted to the environment of the alimentary canal; if they were not, there would be no tapeworms.
Tapeworms are a kind of flatworm. Most flatworms are not tapeworms.
ructural adaptations of tapeworms?
Yes, humans can get tapeworms from their pets, this is one of the reasons for keeping up to date with their deworming medication. No, Tapeworms have to go through an intermediary host, usually fleas although some go through dung beetles. Diplydium caninum CAN infect humans also but you can't get it directly from your dog: you'd have to eat a flea. Routine dewormings are important but flea control is more important as far as tapeworms are concern.
Tapeworms are of the class Cestoda of the phylum Platyhelminthes.
