Segmentation

A millipede: a really obvious example of segmentation
Vertebrates have a segmented vertebral column.

Segmentation in biology means the division of some animal and plant bodies into a series of repeat sections or parts. It is common in some of the most successful groups of animals, such as arthropods, vertebrates and annelid worms.

Segmentation of the body allows different regions of the body to develop for different uses.
