| The stage that begins when a C.elegans individual is fully-developed and has reached maturity. | adult Ce | WBls:0000041 | ||
| The whole period of embryogenesis in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, from the formation of an egg until hatching. | embryo Ce | WBls:0000003 | ||
| A developmental life stage of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans that occurs from egg hatching until adulthood. | larva Ce | WBls:0000023 | ||
| The C. elegans life stage spanning 520-620min after first cleavage at 20 Centigrade. Cell number remains at ~560 cells, with some new cells generated and some cells go through programmed cell death. The shape of embryo is elongated and tripple fold. A stage between 2-fold embryo and fully-elongated embryo. Also called pretzel embryo or pretzel stage. | 3-fold embryo Ce | WBls:0000020 |
