The ribbon worm, also called proboscis worm, bootlace worm, nemertean, or nemertine, is any member of the phylum Nemertea. Nemertea is also called Nemertinea or Rhynchocoela. There are more than 900 Nemertea species, including free-living forms as well as parasites of sea squirts, crustaceans, and mollusks. Most Nemertea are found in marine habitats, but some may live on land (terrestrial) or in freshwater. There are 13 known terrestrial ribbon worm species recorded worldwide.
Most marine nematodes live freely in bottom sediments and feed on organic debris. Like the ribbon worm, roundworms have a one-way digestive tract. Food enters the mouth, is digested in the stomach and intestine, and undigested wastes pass out through the anus, located at the opposite end.
