Flukes
Liver flukes belong to the class Trematoda in the phylum Platyhelminthes.
There are three main subgroups within the phylum Platyhelminthes: Turbellaria (free-living flatworms), Trematoda (flukes), and Cestoda (tapeworms). Each subgroup consists of various species with unique characteristics and ecological roles.
Type of worms are:* Acoelomorpha * Platyhelminthes (flatworms) * Cestoda (tapeworms)** Trematoda (flukes)** Monogenea ** Turbellaria (planarians)* Acanthocephales * Kinorhyncha (mud dragons)* Annelida (segmented worms) * Polychaeta** Oligochaeta ** Hirudinida (leeches)* Nemertea (ribbon worms) * Echiura (spoon worms) * Sipuncula (peanut worms) * Nematoda(roundworms)* Nematomorpha (horsehair worms or gordian worms) * Priapulida (penis worms) * Gnathostomulida (jaw worms)

The phylum with the most species that parasitize humans is Platyhelminthes, specifically the class Trematoda (flukes) and the class Cestoda (tapeworms). These parasites can cause diseases such as schistosomiasis and cysticercosis in humans.
flukes inhabit the elk veins and feed off of them, causing harm
There are different types of worms, including earthworms, roundworms, flatworms, and tapeworms. Each type of worm has unique characteristics and can serve various ecological roles or pose health risks to humans and animals.
