The nematodes (/ ˈ n ɛ m ə t oʊ d z / NEM-ə-tohdz or NEEM-; Ancient Greek: Νηματώδη; Latin: Nematoda), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic.
List of Nematoda has 25,000 recorded species from the Nematode phylum. There are estimated to be a million. [1]
Nematodes (Nematoda or roundworms) are a phylum of animals. The phylum is subdivided in 3 classes : Chromadorea, Enoplea and Secernentea. The phylum is subdivided in 3 classes : Chromadorea, Enoplea and Secernentea.
Tylenchidae is a family of nematodes. They are an important group of soil dwelling species that frequently contributes as much as 30% to the nematode species richness of soil samples. [2] They diverged relatively early on and many species pose little risk to economically important plant species. [2]
Caenorhabditis elegans (/ ˌ s iː n oʊ r æ b ˈ d aɪ t ə s ˈ ɛ l ə ɡ æ n s / [6]) is a free-living transparent nematode about 1 mm in length that lives in temperate soil environments. [7] It is the type species of its genus. [8] The name is a blend of the Greek caeno-(recent), rhabditis (rod-like) [9] and Latin elegans (elegant).
Enoplea (enopleans) is a class, which with the classes Secernentea [1] and Chromadorea make up the phylum Nematoda in current taxonomy. [2] [3] [4] The Enoplea are considered to be a more ancestral group than the Chromadorea, and researchers have referred to its members as the "ancestrally diverged nematodes", compared to the "more recently diverged nematodes" of Chromadorea.

Caenorhabditis is a genus of nematodes which live in bacteria-rich environments like compost piles, decaying dead animals and rotting fruit. The name comes from Greek: caeno- (καινός (caenos) = new, recent); rhabditis = rod-like (ῥάβδος (rhabdos) = rod, wand).
