Solution
- Peripatus is the connecting link between two different groups - Annelida and Arthropoda.
- It shows annelid-like characters such as segmented body, thin cuticle, and parapodia-like organs.
- It also shows arthropod-like characters such as tracheal respiration and open circulatory system.
Therefore, Peripatus is said to be the connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.
