Andreas,
Good question, so I asked my son the developmental biologist at UC Berkeley.
He wrote:
"Well, there's many kinds of worms.
The common earthworm is called an annelid. Segmented, no appendages (legs).
Another example in this group is the leech.
There are also flatworms, called platyhelminthes. Example- planarian.
There are round worms, called nematodes. Example- C. elegans.
You're right, they aren't all of those things that you mentioned. They are
on their own."
So there you have it. The worm slithers alone.
Best,
Carol
