Tagmerlike
Tagmerlike is a term used to describe something that resembles or is characteristic of a tagmere. A tagmere is a distinct, segmented part of an animal's body, particularly common in arthropods like insects and crustaceans. These segments are often specialized for different functions, such as locomotion, reproduction, or feeding. Therefore, when something is described as "tagmerlike," it implies it exhibits this segmented or compartmentalized structure.
The concept of tagmosis, the process by which segments fuse and specialize to form tagmata, is central
