Why did the scientists did not considered the tapeworms as part of annelids?
Tapeworms are part of the phylum platyhelminthes. They are long, flat, parasitic worms that are adapted to life inside the intestines of their hosts. Tapeworms are the simplest animals to have three embryonic germ layers, bilateral symmetry and cephalization. They are NOT annelids because that phylum consists of animals with segmented bodies that are separated by septa. Each segment performs special functions. Most annelids reproduce sexually, while tapeworms reproduce asexually by fission.
