AI overview
Polychaetes, commonly known as bristle worms, are marine annelid worms where each body segment features a pair of fleshy protrusions equipped with many chitinous bristles that give these creatures their distinctive appearance and name. These worms are found throughout the world's oceans and play important roles in marine ecosystems as they burrow in sediments, feed on organic matter, and serve as food for larger marine animals.
