The most common characteristics of segmented worms are that they have multiple segments which make them bilaterally symmetrical, each segment houses a set of organs, and the mouth is located in the first segment while the anus is located in the last segment. Segment worms are capable of living in many different types of environments, and as such, are rather adaptable to their surroundings.
