Can tapeworms have ribbon-like sections that contain reproductive organs?
That is true but very early in development they also carry a digestive system. The beef tapeworm, can grow up to 20 m (65 ft). As the worm grows it produces segments. Each segment contains an independent digestive system and reproductive tract. By the time a segment has reached the end of the worm's tail, only the reproductive tract is left. The segment then breaks off, carrying the tapeworm eggs out.
The rectangular body sections of the tapeworm?
The tapeworm's body is divided into multiple segments called proglottids. Each proglottid contains reproductive organs allowing the tapeworm to produce eggs. As the tapeworm matures, new proglottids are formed at the neck region, pushing older ones towards the end of its body for eventual expulsion.
