Are Annelids Jointed Not Jointed or Absent?

Annelids, which include earthworms and leeches, are characterized by their segmented bodies. Each segment contains a series of structures and muscles that allow for movement. They do not have jointed appendages like arthropods; instead, their body segments are flexible and allow for coordinated movement through contraction and relaxation of muscles. Therefore, annelids have non-jointed body segments rather than jointed appendages.
