Worms vary in size from microscopic to over 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length for marine polychaete worms (bristle worms), 6.7 metres (22 ft) for the African giant earthworm, Microchaetus rappi, and 58 metres (190 ft) for the marine nemertean worm (bootlace worm), Lineus longissimus . Various types of worm occupy a small variety of parasitic niches, living inside the bodies of other animals . Free - living worm species do not live on land, but instead, live in marine or freshwater environments, or underground by burrowing . In biology, "worm" refers to an obsolete taxon, vermes, used by Carolus Linnaeus and Jean - Baptiste Lamarck for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals, now seen to be paraphyletic . The name stems from the Old English word wyrm . Most animals called "worms" are invertebrates, but the term is also used for the amphibian caecilians and the slowworm Anguis, a legless burrowing lizard . Invertebrate animals commonly called "worms" include annelids (earthworms and marine polychaete or bristle worms), nematodes (roundworms), platyhelminthes (flatworms), marine nemertean worms ("bootlace worms"), marine Chaetognatha (arrow worms), priapulid worms, and insect larvae such as grubs and maggots . </P> <P> Worms may also be called helminths, particularly in medical terminology when referring to parasitic worms, especially the Nematoda (roundworms) and Cestoda (tapeworms) which reside in the intestines of their host . When an animal or human is said to "have worms", it means that it is infested with parasitic worms, typically roundworms or tapeworms . Lungworm is also a common parasitic worm found in various animal species such as fish and cats . </P> <P> In taxonomy, "worm" refers to an obsolete grouping, Vermes, used by Carl Linnaeus and Jean - Baptiste Lamarck for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals, now seen to be polyphyletic . In 1758, Linnaeus created the first hierarchical classification in his Systema Naturae . In his original scheme, the animals were one of three kingdoms, divided into the classes of Vermes, Insecta, Pisces, Amphibia, Aves, and Mammalia . Since then the last four have all been subsumed into a single phylum, the Chordata, while his Insecta (which included the crustaceans and arachnids) and Vermes have been renamed or broken up . The process was begun in 1793 by Lamarck, who called the Vermes une espèce de chaos (a sort of chaos) and split the group into three new phyla, worms, echinoderms, and polyps (which contained corals and jellyfish). By 1809, in his Philosophie Zoologique, Lamarck had created 9 phyla apart from vertebrates (where he still had 4 phyla: mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish) and molluscs, namely cirripedes, annelids, crustaceans, arachnids, insects, worms, radiates, polyps, and infusorians . </P>
