Parapodia (Gr. para, beyond or beside + podia, feet), singular parapodium, are paired, un-jointed lateral outgrowths from the bodies of two different invertebrate groups, which are primarily marine in habitat. These structures are characteristic of Polychaeta, and several clades of sea snails and sea slugs.
