Plant Parasite
The Plant Parasite also known as the Meloidogyne Incognita is known for attacking the root of host plants to get the nutrients it needs. When the parasite attacks the root of the plant it changes and deforms the root cells into giant cells which deform and mess up the roots. What the giant cell does is pretty much it kind of sets up a feeding station so it gets all of the nutrients the plant gets and gives it back to itself. There are only abut 2,000 plants susceptible to the Plant parasite but it still accounts for 5% of the worlds lost crops.

The Roundworm has been around for about a billion years and is known as one of the most diverse and ancient animals on the planet. When it comes to their skeletal system there isn't really much to talk about. They don't have any real skeletal system but they do have a outer membrane t somewhat protect them. One reason there is no skeletal system in it is because of how soft-bodied the organism is and how its function is to be able too maneuver itself through small places to infest things like the roots of plants.
