Feeding in tapeworms is made possible through their unique anatomical adaptations. They lack a digestive system; instead, they absorb nutrients directly through their skin, known as the tegument, which is lined with microvilli to increase surface area for absorption. This allows them to efficiently take in nutrients from the host's digested food in the intestines. Additionally, their segmented body structure, consisting of numerous proglottids, facilitates the absorption process over a larger area.
