There are 20,000 known species
Platyhelminthes
The flatworm's scientific name (or at least its Phylum) is Platyhelminthes. I can't give you the real scientific name (which is the genus and species) because there are more than one species of flatworm.
There are three classes in the platyhelminthes phylum. These classes include Turbellaria, Monogenea, and Trematoda. These classes still break down into orders, families, genus, and species. I'm still looking for the rest.

No, not all members of phylum Platyhelminthes are parasitic. While some species within this phylum are parasitic, like tapeworms and flukes, others are free-living and can be found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments.
