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.

While most of the thousands of species of nematodes on Earth are not harmful, some nematodes parasitize and cause diseases in humans and other animals. Also, unfortunately, there are many that attack and feed on living plants.What They Are. Often described as wormlike, nematodes are not closely related to true worms.hile most nematodes are beneficial (see Beneficial Nematodes below for more on their role in the garden), a few species of these translucent, unsegmented worms are plant parasites.
