A tapeworm primarily attacks the intestines of its host. Once ingested, it attaches itself to the intestinal wall using its scolex (head) and absorbs nutrients through its skin. This can lead to various gastrointestinal symptoms and nutritional deficiencies in the host. Tapeworm infections can occur in humans and other animals when they consume contaminated food or water.

How might the tapeworm's body walls be part of the adaptations help a tapeworm survive?
The tapeworm's body walls are specialized to enhance its survival in the host's digestive system. They are covered with a tough, protective cuticle that prevents digestion by the host's enzymes. Additionally, the tapeworm's body is segmented, allowing it to absorb nutrients efficiently through its skin and to grow and reproduce rapidly, helping it thrive in a nutrient-rich environment. These adaptations enable the tapeworm to persist and flourish within its host.
