Answer:
A tapeworm has a flat, ribbon‑like body made of three main parts: the scolex, the neck and a long chain of proglottids
Explanation:
The scolex is the head. It has suckers and sometimes hooks that help the tapeworm attach to the intestine of its host.
The neck is the short region behind the head where new body segments are formed.
The rest of the body is made up of proglottids, which are many repeating segments. These segments contain both male and female reproductive organs and mature as you move down the body. The older segments at the end break off and help spread eggs.
This structure helps the tapeworm absorb food directly from the host and produce many eggs for reproduction
