The term parapodia refers to two different organs. In annelids, parapodia are paired, un-jointed lateral outgrowths that bear thechaetae. In several groups of sea snails and sea slugs, 'parapodium' refers to lateral fleshy protrusions

one of the unjointed rudimentary limbs orprocesses of locomotion of many worms,as annelids.
The fleshy protrusions on the sides of some marine gastropods are also called parapodia. They are particularly well-developed in sea butterflies. Some sea hares use theirparapodia to swim. Parapodia can even be used for respiration (similar to gills) or for locomotion.
The annelids are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, coelomate, invertebrate organisms. They also haveparapodia for locomotion. Most textbooks still use the traditional division into polychaetes (almost all marine), oligochaetes (which include earthworms) and leech-like species.
