Question
what is bilateral symmetry when they talk about earthworms?
Animals with a bilateral symmetry can be divided into a right and left side by a division through only a single plane. Think about your symmetry. If I were to cut you completely from your head to your feet through your nose I would have basically two identical sides.
Even though the worm is round it does have a right and left side.
