Explanation:

Phylum Nematoda consists of the nematodes, or roundworms. Both terms are apt descriptions. Visually, the members of this phylum are described as being long, thin, and hair-like. This is how they received their scientific name. Nematode is from the Greek roots nemat-, meaning thread, and -odes, meaning like or resembling. They have also been described as similar to a long, thin, round tube…hence, roundworms. Most species are microscopic, however a few are over a meter long. The largest known nematode infects sperm whales and can grow up to 9 meters. That's almost 30 feet long! The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is a parasite that infects plants.
