Some of the ways a roundworm is different from a flatworm include:
Body Shape
- Flatworms have flat, ribbon shaped bodies, while roundworms are round (but not segmented) and taper towards the end. Both are bilaterally symmetrical.
- Roundworms are sexed, with two different genders, while flatworms may either be sexed, hermaphroditic, or use asexual reproduction.
- Flatworms have a one-way digestive tract. Waste is taken in and expelled through the same hole. Roundworms have a two-way tract, with a mouth and anus.
