Description The Common Worm Trees are of the phylum aerocardia but are in the class hemophyta due to the symbiosis of sanguinoids to generate more energy off of a rich diet of sulfur compounds. They have a large triangular membrane funnel opening at their pharyngeal anterior that aids in the collection of sulfur compounds precipitating in rainwater that is funneled down into their bodies. Due to sulfur being readily precipitated out of the atmosphere via the water cycle, worm trees take a place in the sulfur cycle by filtering the rain water inside of an internal spiral cavity that runs throughout their body that filter sulfur compounds from the water and converts the sulfate products from the symbiosis of hospitia and sangiunoids that live inside the pharyngeal membrane into hydrogen sulfide that is fed back to those organisms. These worm trees also extract sulfur compounds directly from the soil through capillary action with a water solution. Sulfuric acid that results from these chemical processes or from rain water are separated and expelled out with waste water in the spiral root.
