AI overview
Leeches are segmented worms that feed on the blood or body fluids of other animals, featuring distinctive suckers at both ends of their soft, muscular bodies. They matter because they are closely related to earthworms and represent an important group within the broader family of segmented worms, with unique adaptations that distinguish them from their relatives.
