Explanation of Solution

The phylum Annelida consists of species that have segmented bodies. Two other phyla also have members with segmented bodies. Every segment contains a coelomic cavity which is fluid-filled. The segments in species of Annelida have septa which prevent the fluid in one segment from flowing to another. This characteristic is absent in leeches. Annelids have setae and parapodia also.
