Flatworms; Sea Stars; Sea Cucumber; Sea Urchins
The phyla that show cephalization include Chordata (which includes vertebrates), Arthropoda (including insects, crustaceans, and Spiders), Annelida (segmented worms), and Mollusca (which includes snails, clams, and octopuses).
Porifera (sponges), Ctenophora (comb jellies), and Placozoa do not exhibit cephalization, which is the development of a head region with sensory organs. These organisms typically lack centralized nervous systems and instead have dispersed nerve cells throughout their bodies.
Platyhelminthes show the simplest form of cephalization among animals. They have a concentration of sensory organs and nerve cells at the anterior end of their body, which forms a head-like structure. This allows them to detect and respond to stimuli efficiently.
Cephalization, the concentration of sensory and neural structures at the anterior end of an organism, likely evolved to improve coordination of sensory input and motor output. This adaptation allows for quicker responses to environmental stimuli and enhances the ability to locate and capture food efficiently. Cephalization is particularly advantageous in more mobile organisms that need to navigate complex environments.
The plural form of phylum is phyla.
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.

Phylum Nematoda does exhibit cephalization. Cephalization is a evolutionary trend in development in which the sensory and neural organs of a species becomes concentrated on one end of an organism.

A hydra does not have cephalization.
cephalization for segmented worms, but idk about anything else
The cephalization of a mollusca could possibly describe the arrangement of neurons in the front end of the animal.
Cephalization
Cephalization means formation of a head. Cnidarians have no head, so no.
Animals with cephalization respond more quickly and in more complex ways.
