A blastopore is a term for the opening into the archenteron in embryology.
No, a jellyfish is not a blastopore. A blastopore is the opening of the central cavity of an embryo during early development, while a jellyfish is a gelatinous marine animal belonging to the phylum Cnidaria.
blastopore
In protostome ("first mouth") the blastopore, or the first opening formed becomes the mouth. In deuterostomes ("second mouth"), the blastopore forms the anus and the mouth develops from a second opening.
At the stage of development when the gut forms there is only a single opening into the digestive track, this opening may become either the mouth or anus. In the echinoderms, chordates, and hemichordates the blastopore becomes the anus and a new opening forms the mouth, these are called deuterostomes
protostomes:)

Its a deuterostome
Neither are protostomes. Chordates, Hemichordates, and Echinoderms are all deuterostomes (in that the blastopore forms the anus first). In protostomes, the blastopore forms the mouth first.
gastrulation
The blastopore is an indentation that forms during early embryonic development. Its fate can differ between species, with some having the blastopore develop into the mouth (protostomes) and others into the anus (deuterostomes). This distinction is used to infer evolutionary relationships between organisms, as species that share similar blastopore fates are considered more closely related.
The opening outside of the gastrula is called the blastopore. It is the initial opening that forms during gastrulation, where cells migrate to form the three germ layers.
In protostomes, the blastopore becomes the mouth, while in deuterostomes, the blastopore becomes the anus. This difference in embryonic development is a key distinction between the two groups.
