Flatworms are important to nature as they can be an indicator of changes in the habitat because they are sensitive to water and indicate reduced oxygen, among other things. They are also important because the ecosystem is based on all living creatures and the flatworms eat the tiny plans and animals that go unseen and then when they are eaten by fish or aquatic insects the base of the food chains that the flatworms ate then become part of the larger ecosystem food chain.
