Relating to or characterized by proper body segmentation; having the structural form of a segmented organism.
From eumeromorph plus the adjectival suffix '-ic', maintaining Greek roots meaning 'true-part-form.'
The eumeromorphic body plan's great advantage is modularity—each segment can evolve independently to specialize, which is why some insect legs became wings, why some segments fused to form a head, and why this design is endlessly adaptable.
