Nematodes are the most numerous multicellular animals on earth. A handful of soil will contain thousands of the microscopic worms, many of them parasites of insects, plants or animals.Free-living species are abundant, including nematodes that feed on bacteria, fungi, and other nematodes, yet the vast majority of species encountered are poorly understood biologically. handful of soil will contain thousands of the microscopic worms, many of them parasites of insects, plants or animals.

According to the University of California Museum of Paleontology, more than 15,000 species of nematodes are currently known. Commonly referred to as roundworms, these creatures can range in size from about 3/4 of an inch to nearly 30 feet in length.
