A class or group of organisms characterized by the presence of a cephalon or head structure in their life stages.
From Greek 'kephalē' (head) + '-ina' (Latin suffix forming taxonomic classifications). This term classifies organisms based on possessing a distinct head region.
Biologists use the suffix '-ina' to create taxonomic groups, and cephalina groups together creatures that share the major adaptation of having a developed head structure—a classification system that helped organize our understanding of animal evolution!
