Adaptation of some animals in phylum platyhelminthes to their habitat?

Answer 1

"Platyhelminthes have developed a number of adaptations which made them suitable for their parasitic mode of life. Their thick body covers protect them against defense mechanisms of host body. The spines, suckers and hooks developed for attachment and replace the locomotory organs which are not needed by parasitic animals."

Answer 2

Animals in the phylum Platyhelminthes have adaptations such as flat bodies to facilitate movement in narrow spaces, allowing them to easily navigate through their aquatic or moist terrestrial habitats. They also have a simple digestive system and can absorb nutrients directly through their skin due to their flattened body shape, enabling efficient feeding in their environment. Additionally, some species have developed complex reproductive strategies, such as both sexual and asexual reproduction, to ensure their survival in diverse habitats.
