jellyfish have no bones, exoskeleton, or shell to protect or support them. The jellyfish is considered simple-bodied because, like its Cnidarian cousins, it has no head, brain, heart, eyes, or ears. Thus it is also lacking in the sensory systems that correspond to these organs.
Jellyfish sting their prey using nematocysts, also called cnidocysts, stinging structures located in specialized cells called cnidocytes.

The animal you are referring to is a jellyfish. Jellyfish have a bell-shaped body that resembles an umbrella and possess specialized cells called cnidocytes that contain stinging structures used for defense and capturing prey.

Some animals, particularly certain types of sponges and jellyfish, primarily have specialized cells rather than true tissues or organs. For example, sponges possess unique cells called choanocytes, which help in feeding and water flow. Jellyfish have cnidocytes, specialized cells that contain stinging structures used for capturing prey. These specialized cells allow these animals to perform essential functions despite their simple body structures.

Jellyfish have tentacles that sting primarily for defense and to capture prey. The tentacles contain specialized cells called cnidocytes, which house stinging structures called nematocysts. When triggered, these nematocysts release toxins that can incapacitate small fish and other prey, making it easier for the jellyfish to feed. Additionally, the stinging mechanism helps protect the jellyfish from potential predators.
Most jellyfish do not have specialized digestive, osmoregulatory, central nervous, respiratory, or circulatory systems.

Jellyfish sting their prey using nematocysts, also called cnidocysts, stinging structures located in specialized cells called cnidocytes, which are characteristic of all Cnidaria. Contact with a jellyfish tentacle can trigger millions of nematocysts to pierce the skin and inject venom, yet only some species' venom cause an adverse reaction in humans.
