Here are some characteristics of flatworms:
Soft bodied invertebrates classified into three groups based on body structure are flatworms, roundworms, and segmented worms. Flatworms have a flattened body, roundworms are cylindrical with a tapered ends, and segmented worms have distinct body segments.
There are three different groups of animals known as "worms": flatworms (phylum: Platyhelminthes), roundworms (phylum: nematoda), and segmented worms (phylum: annelida).
Flatworms and Roundworms have bilateral symmetry as a body type.
It depends what type of warm you are referring to. Flatworms belong Platyhelminthes Tubeworms belong to Nematodes and Segmented worms belong to Annelids Centipedes and Millipedes are not worms. They belong to the Arthropod Phylum.
there are three
Turbellaria , Trematoda and cestoda
Pig worms, hookworms, and Vinegar eel worms

Flatworms require muscle cells for movement, nerve cells for detecting stimuli, and epithelial cells for sensory integration and coordination of responses. These three cell types work together to allow flatworms to respond to their environment and move about.
Yes, most Platyhelminthes (flatworms) are motile. They move using cilia or muscle contractions, allowing them to glide over surfaces, swim in water, or burrow in substrate. However, some species are parasitic and may have reduced mobility or be immobile as adults.
The three major groups of parasites are protozoa, helminths (worms), and ectoparasites. Protozoa are single-celled organisms that can infect various parts of the body, helminths are multicellular worms that can be either roundworms or flatworms, and ectoparasites are organisms that live on the body's surface, such as lice or ticks.
Roundworms can help control insects and pests in the environment. Some roundworms are used in scientific research to study basic biological processes. Certain species of roundworms are used in the field of medicine for research on diseases and potential treatments.
