👉 The term "Lophotidae" refers to a group of parasitic nematode worms that are commonly found in aquatic environments, particularly in freshwater and brackish water bodies. These worms feed on various organisms, primarily plant material, including bacteria, fungi, and algae. Lophotidae play an important role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter into smaller particles that can be used by other organisms for food or as a source of nutrients.
