While both flatworms and roundworms are soft-skinned invertebrates, their Biology differs greatly enough to put them into to distinct categories. Flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes, while roundworms belong to Nematode.Flatworms have flat, ribbon shaped bodies, while roundworms are round (but not segmented) and taper towards the end. Both are bilaterally symmetrical. Roundworms are sexed, with two different genders, while flatworms may either be sexed, hermaphroditic, or use asexual reproduction.
