Meaning of "nematode" in English

Nematodes, commonly known as roundworms, are a diverse phylum of worm-like creatures characterized by their tubular digestive systems. They are predominantly microscopic and free-living in soil or water, though some are parasitic and can live in plants, animals, and humans. Nematodes play significant ecological roles, often influencing the growth of plants and the population dynamics of other organisms. Agriculturally, they can be pests affecting crops, yet they also contribute positively by decomposing organic matter and enhancing soil fertility.

Meaning of "nématode" in French

In French, "nématode" refers to the same group of worm-like organisms known in English as nematodes or roundworms. They are equally microscopic, with a simple worm-like body structure. Nématodes are found in a variety of environments from soil to aquatic systems and can be either free-living or parasitic. In agriculture, these organisms have a dual role as they can harm crops by being pests or aid in decomposing organic material, thus enhancing nutrient cycling and soil health.
