Each segment of an annelid, or segmented worm, is known as a somite and is uniquely specialized for various functions. Segments contain their own set of muscles, nerves, and sometimes even organs, allowing for localized movement and response to stimuli. Additionally, segments can exhibit varying functions along the body, such as reproduction in clitellate segments or specialized appendages in certain areas. This segmentation allows for greater flexibility and adaptability in different environments.
