The prostomium is located at the anterior (front) end of an annelid worm, such as earthworms. It is a small, lip-like structure that often serves as a sensory organ, helping the worm to navigate its environment. The prostomium is distinct from the first true segment of the body, known as the peristomium, which surrounds the mouth.
