They range from 20 to 50 cm in length and 3 to 6 mm in diameter. They are cream or white sort of color and are very dangerous. The Roundworm like most roundworms does not have a skeletal system. It does however have an epidermis to protect it somewhat. One very strange thing about the Roundworm is that its epidermis is not made of cells like every other organism has. It is pretty much a mass of cellular material with no separating membrane.
