What are pseudocoeloms?

AnswerRoundworms are among several phyla of animals known as pseudocoelomates. They are so named because they have a pseudocoelom, a hollow, fluid-filled cavity that is lined by mesoderm on the outside and endoderm on the inside.

Why is the body cavity of Ascaris suum known as pseudocoelem?

The term "pseudocoelom" refers to how the body cavity appears in the embryo of an organism. As you probably know, the bilaterians (all organisms with left-right symmetry, and the echinoderms for phylogenetic reasons) have three layers of tissue in the embryo: the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. In the "true" coelomates, the body cavity ("coelom") is completely surrounded by mesodermal tissue. In the pseudocoelomates, though, the body cavity is partly surrounded by mesoderm but partly surrounded by endoderm. It should be noted that, given our current understanding, the pseudocoelomates do not form a valid taxonomic group. In previous years, the various groups of pseudocoelomates, including the roundworms (Phylum Nematoda), wheel animals (Phylum Rotifera), and others were lumped into one group called the "ascelminthes". Modern fossil and genetic evidence, however, shows that the pseudocoelom has appeared multiple times independently in the animal kingdom.

Compare and contrast the body of a flatworm to the body plan of a roundworm?

Flatworms are considered acoelomate, since they have no body cavity, and roundworms are pseudocoelomate because they have a body cavity, but it is not derived from the splitting of the mesoderm tissue. Also, flatworms only have one opening in their digestive system unlike roundworms with two.
