The nematodes (/ ˈ n ɛ m ə t oʊ d z / NEM-ə-tohdz or NEEM-; Ancient Greek: Νηματώδη; Latin: Nematoda), roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. Species in the phylum inhabit a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but many are parasitic.
The orders are distinguished mainly by habitat type. [4] [3] Enoplida Filipjev, 1929 – nematodes of marine and brackish water habitat, carnivorous or feed on diatoms and other algaes; Triplonchida Cobb, 1920 – terrestrial nematodes, including some plant parasites; Trefusiida Lorenzen, 1981

Necator americanus is a species of hookworm (a type of helminth) commonly known as the New World hookworm.Like other hookworms, it is a member of the phylum Nematoda.It is an obligatory parasitic nematode that lives in the small intestine of human hosts. [1]
Enoplea (enopleans) is a class, which with the classes Secernentea [1] and Chromadorea make up the phylum Nematoda in current taxonomy. [2] [3] [4] The Enoplea are considered to be a more ancestral group than the Chromadorea, and researchers have referred to its members as the "ancestrally diverged nematodes", compared to the "more recently diverged nematodes" of Chromadorea.
List of Nematoda has 25,000 recorded species from the Nematode phylum. There are estimated to be a million. [1]

Tylenchidae is a family of nematodes.They are an important group of soil dwelling species that frequently contributes as much as 30% to the nematode species richness of soil samples. [2]
