Vermiform
While the Vermes is no longer a taxonomic group, anatomists continue to use the description "vermiform" of animals or organs that are worm-shaped. The word root is Latin, vermes(worms) and formes(shaped). (A well known example of the same term is the vermiform appendix, a small, blind section of the gut in humans and a number of other mammals.)
