I’m in my viticulture class and we’re talking about soil biology and our teacher started talking about nematodes. I turn to David and mouth: “What’s a nematode?” because I realized I don’t really know what a nematode is. Time for a quick sprint over to Wikipedia, but that just left me scratching my head:

Nematodes are unsegmented, bilaterally symmetric and triploblastic protostomes with a complete digestive system.

But I wanted to know what a nematode is. Whether it’s microscopic, whether it has feet, whether it swims. Fortunately, my teacher finished up by saying that they are “little round worm things” which is far more information than I got from Wikipedia.
