setae
Distinguishing characteristics of the phylum annelida are conspicuous metameric segmentation, they are triploblastic, coelomate, bilaterally symmetrical, tubular bodies (worms), they have a nervous system and some sense organs
Segmented worms are called annelids because their bodies are made up of a series of repeating segments. The term "annelid" comes from the Latin word "annellus," which means "little ring" or "segment." This segmented body allows annelids to move and flex more effectively.
Millipedes are terrestrial arthropods belonging to the class Diplopoda, characterized by having two pairs of jointed legs per body segment and a cylindrical body. Polychaetes, on the other hand, are marine annelid worms belonging to the class Polychaeta, characterized by having numerous bristle-like structures called chaetae on each body segment and well-developed parapodia for locomotion. So, the main difference lies in their habitat (terrestrial vs. marine) and body structure.
The brushlike structures on a polychaete body are called parapodia. They are used for locomotion, respiration, and sometimes for feeding in many species of polychaetes, which are a type of marine annelid worm.
Excision of a segment or part of an organ is called a partial resection or partial excision. This procedure is done to remove a specific area of the organ while preserving the majority of its function.
it has slime on the covering of it's body!
Called setae, the tiny bristles on each segment of a worm help it move through soil as well as grip another worm when mating.
Bristles is what they are called
Another name for a segmented worm is an annelid. Annelids are a diverse group of invertebrates that include earthworms, leeches, and marine worms. They are characterized by their segmented bodies and bristles called setae.

Porcupine bristles are called 'quills'. The quills are large and hollow.

The bristles along the body of an earthworm are called the Setae,which are set along its segmented length. In all the body segments except the first, last and clitellum, there is a ring of S-shaped setae embedded in the epidermal pit of each segment.

annelids-derived from the latin word annellus which means little ring the name refers to the ring-like appearance of annelids' body segments. The body of an annelid is divided into segments that are separated by septa (singular: Septum), which are internal walls between each segment. Most segments are similar to one another, although they may be modified to preform special functions. Some body segments may carry one or more pairs of eyes, several pairs of antennae, and other sense organs. Other segments may be specialized for functions such as respiration. In many annelids, bristles called setae (singular: Setae) are attached to each segment.
