Phylum Annelida of which there are three classes: Oligochaeta, Polychaeta, and Hirudinea.
The three classes of Phylum Annelida are Polychaeta, Oligochaeta, and Hirudinea. Polychaeta are marine worms with bristles called chaetae, Oligochaeta include earthworms with few chaetae, and Hirudinea are leeches that are mostly freshwater and have suckers for attachment.
Bristleworm
The earthworms belong to the phylum Annelida. Phylum Annelida's members are called Annelids.
Tubeworms belong to the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms. They are specifically classified in the class Polychaeta, which comprises marine worms known for their tube-dwelling lifestyle.
Bristle worms belong to the phylum Annelida, which also includes earthworms and leeches. They are segmented worms with bristles along their bodies called chaetae, which they use for movement and protection. Bristle worms are commonly found in marine environments, where they play important roles in the ecosystem by scavenging detritus and preying on small organisms.
Phylum Annelida -- Class Oligochaeta
No, leaches are from Phylum Annelida and Class Hirudinea, which is completely separate from Phylum Mollusca.
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Annelida Class: Clitellata Order: Hirudinea Family: (Varies based on specific species)
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Annelida Class: Clitellata Order: Haplotaxida Family: Lumbricidae Genus: Lumbricus Species: terrestris
Marine worms belong to different taxonomic groups, so their scientific names vary. For example, marine polychaete worms are part of the class Polychaeta, while marine flatworms belong to the class Turbellaria. It's important to specify the type of marine worm to accurately determine its scientific name.
Leeches are classified as annelids, which are segmented worms. They are specifically part of the subclass Hirudinea within the phylum Annelida.
