In free-living species, development usually consists of four molts of the cuticle during growth. Different species feed on materials as varied as algae, fungi, small animals, fecal matter, dead organisms and living tissues. Free-living marine nematodes are important and abundant members of the meiobenthos. They play an important role in the decomposition process, aid in recycling of nutrients in marine environments and are sensitive to changes in the environment caused by pollution. One roundworm of note is Caenorhabditis elegans, which lives in the soil and has found much use as a model organism. C. elegans has had its entire genome sequenced, as well as the developmental fate of every cell determined, and every neuron mapped.

There's many of them, but here are some of the bigger ones; Annelids, unlike roundworms (or flatworms for that matter) are segmented. That is after all how they get their name (annelida = little ring). Annelids also have a very complex organ system. Roundworms only possess a reproduction system as they usually live in an organism's intestines and don't need to digest food. Annelids posses both a reproduction system, and a digestive system as well as a circulatory system. As they are true coelomates their organs and organ systems are organised rather than just kinda' being tossed in there. =)
