This chapter explores the origin of the popular worm love meme and delves into the question of whether nematologists cut worms into pieces for lab research. They explain that flat worms can regrow into new worms when cut, but this is not the case for all worms. They also discuss a unique nematode species that can regrow its tail and survive on symbiotic bacteria.
