Tapeworms are parasitic organisms. Basically, their eggs are laid in any food source (especially raw meat). Once ingested into the body, the eggs hatch, latch on to the walls of your digestive system, and consume what they can.

Why did the scientists did not considered the tapeworms as part of annelids?

Tapeworms are part of the phylum platyhelminthes. They are long, flat, parasitic worms that are adapted to life inside the intestines of their hosts. Tapeworms are the simplest animals to have three embryonic germ layers, bilateral symmetry and cephalization. They are NOT annelids because that phylum consists of animals with segmented bodies that are separated by septa. Each segment performs special functions. Most annelids reproduce sexually, while tapeworms reproduce asexually by fission.


How do Tapeworms reproduce?

Tapeworms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Mature proglottids (segments that make up the body of a tapeworm) contain both male and female reproductive organs. Sperm from a tapeworm will fertilize the egg--either from the same tapeworm or a different one. The proglottid containing the fertilized egg will break off from the body and burst to release the zygote. The zygote is then released through the feces of the host. Zygotes are then consumed by a new host--their primary host--, grow, burrow, form a cyst, and begin the process again.
