Tapeworms lack a true circulatory system which transport oxygen and nutrients into a organism's body.
Tapeworms are unable to move on their own, so they rely on the organism they live in to move them. Since they generally live inside another organism, they have a tough outer covering to protect them from the host's digestive fluids. The tapeworm excretes its waste directly from its guts.
Like many other organisms in the platyhelminthes phylum, the tape worm is a hermaphrodite, meaning that it has both sexual organs.
