Abstract
In this paper, we give examples of Kirchhoff rod centerlines fully immersed in higher-dimensional space forms. More precisely, we prove that any helix in a space form is a Kirchhoff rod centerline. These examples imply the difference of the geometric properties between Kirchhoff rod centerlines and elasticae.
