No, triploblastic.
Triploblastic have three germinal layers and Diploblastic have two germinal layers
Yes, platyhelminthes are diploblastic, meaning they have two primary germ layers during embryonic development: the ectoderm and endoderm. They lack a mesoderm layer.
diploblastic have two body wall ectoderm and endoderm
Porifera (sponges) have no specialized cells. To be diploblastic animal phyla must have a minimum of two cell layers referred to as ectoderm and endoderm. The absence of these cell types make it impossible for any members of porifera to be diploblastic.
triploblastic : organisms which have three layers in the embryo : the ectoderm,mesoderm & endoderm
No they do not. I am not certain as to whether they have 0 or 2 germ layers but it is one of the two.

They are triploblastic because they are apart of the phyla Echinodermata. If you look at the animal phylogenetic tree you can see that starfish are apart of the triploblasts. The difference between diploblastic and triploblastic is that diploblastic have two germ layers during development which are the ectoderm and endoderm. Triploblastic animals (like starfish, and humans) have three germ layers which are the ectoderm (outside), mesoderm (middle) and endoderm (inside).
Gastrulation
Cnidaria are Diploblastic, having two main body layers. They also have a Mesoderm, but this is simply a collection of nerves, creating a nerve net.
They are animals having two germinal layers in the embryo, the outer ectoderm and the inner endoterm .Example of diploblastic animals are porifera and cnidaria.
