Taenia pisiform
There are 3 domains of life. The archaea, the bacteria and the eukarya (or eukaryota) domains. Our friend pictured here, is a Taenia pisiform. This creature belongs to the eukarya domain. The eukarya domain includes the following 4 kingdoms 1) protista, 2) fungi, 3) plantae, and 4) animalia. The Taenia pisiform, is in the animalia kingdom and the invertebrata sub-kingdom.
Animals in the sub-kingdom invertebrata, make up around 95% of the known animal species on Earth. These animals get their name from the fact that they lack an internal skeleton and do not have a backbone. Animals that categorized as "invertebrates" include annelids, arachnids, cnidaria, crustaceans, echinoderms, insects, mollusks, and protozoa.
The Taenia pisiform is an invertebrate belonging to the Platyhelminths Phylum, which is the phylum of flatworms, an they belong to the Cestoda Class, which is the class of tapeworms.
