Roundworms are
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Nematodes move by constriction of the longitudinal muscles. Since their interior weight is high, this makes the body flex instead of smooth, and the animal moves by whipping to and fro. No cilia or flagellae are available.
Roundworm Movement | |
Thrashing movement | They have muscles that run the length of their bodies. As one muscle contracts, another relaxes, causing a thrashing movement. |
Role of pseudocoelom | It acts as a hydrostatic skeleton. The fluid within the pseudocoelom provides rigid support for the muscles to work against. |
