...In particular, in annelids and arthropods, the segments are called ring segments because they form a ring. If we define a segment as "a part of the body with the same structure that has the same organs and is repeated in the front-to-back direction," then the strobila (transverse divisions) that occur during reproduction in tapeworms and certain coelenterates are also made up of many segments of the same type. However, the origin of these segments is of a completely different nature, and the latter segments can be seen as insect bodies that reproduce asexually in the vertical direction, but do not separate from the mother body and remain as parts of the original individual forever, with the front ones losing their tails and the rear ones losing their heads at the connection point. ... *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "lateral division" are listed below.
