The
perfect fishing bait.
The term worm is used
to describe many different distantly-related animals which
have a long cylindrical body and no legs.
Worms usually have a cylindrical, flattened, or leaf-like
body shape and are often without any true limbs or appendages.
Instead, they may have bristles or fins that help them
move. A few have light-sensing organs. Worms vary in size
from less than 1 mm (0.04 inch) in certain aschelminths
to more than 30 m (100 feet) in certain ribbon worms.
Some worms reproduce sexually. Hermaphroditism, the condition
in which a single individual possesses both male and female
reproductive parts, is common in many groups of worms.
Asexual reproduction, whereby new individuals develop
from the body cells of another, also occurs in some worms... |
