Platyhelminthes are bilaterally symmetrical, nonsegmented, dorsoventrally flattened worms characterized by lack of coelom, anus, circulatory and respiratory systems, and exo- or endoskeleton.

Nematoda are bilaterally symmetrical and usually tapered at both ends. Some species have separate sexes; others are hermaphroditic. Nematodes have a unique excretory system consisting, in simpler species, of one or two one-celled glands called renette cells and, in more highly specialized forms, of longitudinal excretory ducts.

Earthworm (phylum annelid)- The body is annular, made up of segments that are most specialized in the rear. Earthworms have a simple circulatory system. They have two main blood vessels that extend through the length of their body: a ventral blood vessel which leads the blood to the posterior end, and a dorsal blood vessel which leads to the anterior end. Unlike platyhelminthes and nematoda, they do possess a body cavity (coelom).

What invertebrate group does the eathworm belong in?

Earthworms belong to the phylum Annelida (ringworms). Note that these are not the only kind of worms; two other phyla are Platyhelminthes (flatworms) and Nematoda (roundworms), and they're all very different from each other. For comparison, another phylum-phylum difference is that between either of the worms and Chordata, being all vertebrates!
