Definition
A phylum of parasitic worms known for their spiny, hook-covered head that they use to attach inside host animals' intestines.
Etymology
From Greek 'akantha' (thorn/spine) + 'kephale' (head). The name literally means 'spiny-headed' and perfectly describes their most distinctive feature.
Kelly Says
These parasitic worms have a head so spiky and hook-covered it looks like a medieval weapon—they're nature's tiny knights of darkness, though definitely ones we'd rather avoid!
