It is a substance found in animals called comb-jellies. It is a non living jelly like substance.

mesoglea ;)
mesoglea
The "jelly layer" of jellyfish (and other cnidarians) is called the "mesoglea." The mesoglea is a gelatinous, mostly acellular layer composed of fibrous proteins, such as collagen. The mesoglea often have some muscle fiber bundles and nerves to maintain the mesoglea's form, as well as some amoebocyte cells to consume debris and invading pathogens. The mesoglea serves as an internal skeleton to help the cnidarian retain its form after it relaxes from contracting.
I had that same question too... its the Mesoglea
mesoglea.
The ectoderm is located on the outside layer of animal. It hold either the mesoglea or the mesoderm in.
No. The mesoglea -- the jelly -- is at most 5 percent of the jellyfish.
In aquatic animals like cnidarians : mesogles helps in maintenance of buoyancy and transparency

It's the jelly-like substance that is found between the two layers of cells in a cnidarian. The mesogea is not in all cnidarians though
Cnidarians secrete mesoglea - which is a jelly-like substance that separates the ectoderm and endoderm.
Jellyfish are made up of cells, much like any other multi-cellular organism. Their unusual jelly-like quality is the result of having cartilage but no skeleton.Depending on the species, the body contains between 95 and 98% water. Most of the umbrella mass is a gelatinous material - the jelly - called mesoglea which is surrounded by two layers of protective skin.They are not fish, 95% water. Just made of cells.
