Tapeworms attach themselves to the wall of the intestines and absorb digested food directly through their skin. People can get infected with tapeworms by eating under-cooked pork. The larvae of the worm live in the muscle of pigs. If these larvae are eaten, they get into the human intestine and grow into adults. The eggs of the adults leave the human's body in the faeces. If pigs are allowed into the areas where there is human waste containing eggs, the eggs may be eaten by the pigs and the cycle starts again.

In most cases the animal will get them from a smaller pest that they have eaten through their grooming process. The most common case you will hear of is a cat will get fleas and when they clean themselves they will eat the fleas and receive the tapeworms when the flea is in their stomach.

Why tapeworm cause taeniasis in vegetarian people?

Tapeworm eggs can be passed to others through poor hygiene. For example if your vegetarian meal is prepared by a person with tapeworm and poor hand hygiene, the tapeworm eggs can be passed to you.
