What are the main characteristics of sponges cnidarians and worms?
Sponges are invertebrate animals that usually have no body symmetry and never have tissues or organs. Cnidarians use stinging cells to capture food and defend themselves. Flatworms are flat and as soft as jelly. Unlike cnidarians or flatworms, roundworms have a digestive system that is like a tube, open at both ends. Earthworms and other segmented worms have bodies made up of many linked sections called segments.
How are cnidarians more advanced then jellyfish?
Sponges are less complex because they are just made of individual cells. There is no level of organization past cells in sponges. Cnidarians, on the other hand, have tissues, a higher level of organization. Tissues allow for some forms, like box jelly fish, to have eyes (this is just one of many advantages of tissues). Cnidarians' level of organization stops there though, they have no organs (heart, brain, etc.).
