What evolutionary advantages does segmentation confer upon an organism?
From an evolutionary perspective, the most important consequence of segmentation in animals is that it allows organisms to grow much larger than would be possible without segmentation. It has allowed organisms to alter their body forms in complex ways, increases the mobility of an organism, reduces the surface area-to-volume ratio, and allows body parts to be eaten by predators without killing the organism.
