A schematic depiction of an acorn worm from the genus Balanoglossus (family Ptychoderidae), a marine invertebrate within the phylum Hemichordata. The illustration shows the organismal hierarchy with a distinct proboscis, collar, and elongated trunk bearing multiple pharyngeal gill slits. In invertebrate zoology and comparative anatomy, this organism is used to study deuterostome evolution and respiratory function. It is an organism-level entity located in marine benthic habitats, where the proboscis assists in deposit feeding and burrow formation.
