Detailed explanation-1: -Segmented Worms: Phylum Annelida. The worms in the phylum Annelida (from the Latin root word annelus meaning ring) typically have complex segmented bodies (Fig. 3.43). The body of an annelid is divided into repeating sections called segments with many internal organs repeated in each segment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Annelid Segmentation The Annelida body plan contains three main body regions: 1) the prostomium, or the head, 2) the trunk, or main body, and 3) the pygidium, the anus. The prostomium is located at the most anterior (forward) region of the worm containing most of the sensory organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Annelids have a well-developed, closed circulatory system (one in which blood is limited to vessels) that is segmentally arranged. They also have a complete, one-way digestive tract with a mouth and anus.
