Roundworms, or nematodes, are unsegmented, cylindrical worms with a tough outer cuticle and a simple body structure, lacking specialized respiratory and circulatory systems. In contrast, annelids, such as earthworms, are segmented and have a more complex body structure with a true coelom, allowing for a more advanced circulatory system and segmentation that facilitates movement. Additionally, annelids possess setae (bristle-like structures) for locomotion, while roundworms do not. These differences highlight the distinct evolutionary adaptations of each group within the animal kingdom.

What features distinguish annelids from roundworms?

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. =)

What is the difference between nematodes and annelids?

Nematodes are roundworms with smooth bodies and a lack of segmentation, while annelids are segmented worms with ring-like divisions along their bodies. Annelids also have bristles called setae on their bodies, which nematodes lack. Additionally, nematodes have a protective cuticle covering their bodies, while annelids do not.


Do annelids have segments?

No, nematodes do not have segments. The lack of segmentation inspires their other name, roundworms. They look like smooth cylinders.
