Hydra feed using stinging nematocysts to catch small aquatic organisms, most commonly, copepods.
it moves by using its hydra offsprings to attache to the lower rib.
Hydra are secondary consumers, primary consumers feed off of photosynthetic organisms. Hydra eat primary consumers like daphnia for example.
No. But they feed on a few types of vertebre though.
it has a base which produces a sticky material that makes them stick to a surface.
Hydra belong to the phylum Cnidaria and the class Hydrozoa.

Hydra are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms. They are carnivorous and primarily feed on small aquatic invertebrates like water fleas and tiny worms.
Hydra or Hydra
Hydras are small aquatic organisms that are typically consumed by larger predators, such as fish, turtles, and birds. Additionally, some invertebrates like crustaceans and other aquatic insects may also feed on hydras.
Hydra is an animal. Animals never have chloroplasts
Since Hydra is part of the group of cnidarians, it is a bit more complicated than a sponge. The way that hydra digest their food is through extracellular digestion. This means that hydra actually have a special gut cavity that traps and digests food instead of having a bunch of cells do it, like a sponge. This gut cavity only has one opening and during digestion, enzymes from the cell wall are released to aid in breaking down the food. Once digested, the food is engulfed by cells from the wall into tiny particles through a process called Phagocytosis.
