they both are segmented
There is some debate about what other groups the nematodes, or roundworms, are most closely related to, and therefore from what group they descended. Nematodes are classified as being in the clade Ecdysozoa which also includes arthropods. If nematodes are truly closely related to arthropods then they share a common ancestor.
The eight groups are:* Mollusks * Echinoderms * Arthropods * Annelids * Nematodes * Porifera* Platyhelminthes * Coelenterates Or go to:What_are_the_8_groups_of_invertebrates
Yes. A nematode is covered by a tough cuticle that is periodically shed through ecdysis.
In no particular order: Chordates Echinodermata Platyhelminthes (Flatworms) Nematodes (Roundworms) Annelids (Segmented Worms) Arthropods Porifera (Sponges) Molluscs (Shells)
Yes, arthropods have to moult in order to increase in size, because their exoskeleton is rigid and inhibits growth. The process is called ecdysis and is not limited only to arthropods; it is a characteristic of their clade, ecdysozoa, which includes nematodes and other phyla.
Soil organisms are the organisms that live in the soil. The include bacteria, fungi, algae and slime molds, protozoa, nematodes, arthropods, worms, and gastropods.

Arthropods are characterized by an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
Yes, segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages are common features of arthropods.

Arthropods
Arthropods are a fairly wide-ranging classification of animals, covering everything from grub beetles to mosquitoes. One fairly common (though not universal) function of arthropods is to break down organic material into smaller molecules.
