Meet the Microanimals!

The video introduces micro animals, tiny creatures that can only be seen under a microscope. These invertebrates, including tardigrades, mites, and nematodes, are known for their ability to survive in extreme environments. Tardigrades, or water bears, are resilient and can live in harsh conditions, even in space. Mites, related to spiders, inhabit various environments and include the harmless eyelash mites. Nematodes, or roundworms, are abundant and adaptable, thriving in diverse conditions. The study of these micro animals helps scientists understand survival in extreme places and suggests many undiscovered species await discovery.

Explain the significance of nematodes in various environments.
