Question

I live in your small intestine. Pseudocoelum is present in my thread-like body. In which phylum will you include me?

• A. Platyhelminthes
• B. Nemathelminthes
• C. Annelida
• D. Arthropoda

Answer 1

The correct option is B Nemathelminthes

Aschelminths or Nemathelminthes are either free-living or parasitic animals.

• The Giant Intestinal roundworm species belonging to the phylum Nemathelminthes is an endoparasite living in the human intestine.

• These roundworms cause a disease called Ascariasis.

• They usually live inside the intestine and causes obstruction to the intestinal passage.

• So, the correct answer is Nemathelminthes.
