Earthworms are big segmented worms that belong to the Phylum Annelida, Class Clitellata, and sub class Oligochaeta. Leeches are also worms belonging to the same Phylum and class, but sub class Hirudinae and are of three types, freshwater, terrestrial and marine.

What is the hirudinea and oligochaeta?
Hirudinea are leeches. many are predators that feed on other invertebrates, but some are parasites that suck blood. body usually flat, chaetae(each segment has 4 pairs of chaetae, bristles that provides traction for burrowing) absent, sucker at anterior and posterior ends, parasites, scavengers.Oligochaeta: freshwater, marine, and terrestrial segmented worms such as earthworms, reduced head, no parapodia, chaetae present. ^_^
Are worms and earthworms the same?
Earthworms are a type of worm; there are many other types including roundworms, flatworms, marine worms, and bristle worms.
What are close relatives of earthworms?
i have done studying on this subject myself and i find that the commen earth worm due to the fact that there are about 2783 types of earth worms would be slugs and if not information has lead me to think that they would be related to just flat worms or round worms. ~anonymous
Which animal has the same phylum as a earthworm?
A leech is also an annelidia, such as the earthworm.
How can you tell that earthworms are in the same group as a ragworm?
Because the ragworm bought the first pitcher of Bud.
Is it true or false that earthworms and leeches are members of the same phylum?
Yes, it is true. Both Leeches and Earthworms have round bodies and are members of the phylum Annelida. The common name of this phyla is "roundworms". Their body structure is an important evolutionary link as they are the first group of animals with blood vessels. They are also the first segmented animals and have both circular and longitudinal muscles in their body cavity.
Do leeches have eyes?
No, leeches do not have setae and that is one of the major differences that sets them apart from organisms such as earthworms or other marine worms when categorizing them in classes. So leeches/earthworms/and marine worms are all in the same Phylum - Phylum Annelids (Segmented Worms) but they're all in separate classes. So Polychaeta (Marine Worms) and Oligochaeta (Earthworms) - have many setae but Hirudinea (Leeches), do not.
Do leeches make out?
They do the same things that earthworms do which is exchange sexual cells orally. So yes in a way they do.
Are leaches bugs?
Leeches are not bugs (insects). Leeches are animals, segmented worms in the same phylum (Annelida) as earthworms. Although insects do have a larval (worm-like) stage of their development, worms are not related to insects. After the larval stage, insects later develop legs and exoskeletons. Leeches and worms have neither exoskeleton nor legs at any stage of their lives. The larval stage of insects leads to the common misconception that they are related to worms, but this is not the case.
What is leech digestive tract?
Leeches have a complete digestive tract. Leeches are members of Phylum Annelida. This phylum has the general characteristic of having a complete digestive tract, i.e. food goes in through the mouth, pass through digestive tract of some sort like stomach and/or intestine, waste gets discarded through some sort of rectal opening, i.e. anus. In comparison, an incomplete digestive tract generally means food goes in and waste come out of the same opening, i.e. mouth=anus. Lower level invertebrates have incomplete digestive tract like Phylum Cnidaria and Phylum Platyhelminthes members.
Why is a leech an arthropod?
Leeches aren't arthropods (phylum Arthropoda), they belong to Annelida, the same phylum as a garden earthworm. Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
Is spirochetes a phylum or class?
Spirochaetes is a class which belongs in the phylumSpirochaetae.All "spirochaetes" belong to the same order - so they are members of both the phylum and the class.
What is the invertebrate group called if the leech is in it?
Leeches belong to the phylum Annelida (ringworms), like the common earthworm! They are very similar, they have the same bodyplan, rings and bristles.
What if there is the same amount of leeches and peers?
When there is the same amount of leeches and peers on a torrent, the file may take longer to download.
Why are phylum pyrrophyta and dinoflagellata a paradox?
Dinoflagellata and Pyrrophyta are two seperate Phylums, but share some of the same members. Pyrrophyta encompasses more organisms, and a working dichotomous key cannot have two phylum that share any of the same members; it defeats the point of seperating the organisms in the first place.
What is the hirudinea and oligochaeta?
Hirudinea are leeches. many are predators that feed on other invertebrates, but some are parasites that suck blood. body usually flat, chaetae(each segment has 4 pairs of chaetae, bristles that provides traction for burrowing) absent, sucker at anterior and posterior ends, parasites, scavengers.Oligochaeta: freshwater, marine, and terrestrial segmented worms such as earthworms, reduced head, no parapodia, chaetae present. ^_^
Are centipedes and earthworms insects?
no. they are in a group of creatures called "annelids".
