Flatworms are the simplest of the worm groups. There are about 20,000 species in this group. They are found many places and can be free living or parasitic. A parasite lives off of another living thing called a host and can be harmful. One of the best known flatworms is the tapeworm. The tapeworm can get into a person's digestive tract and grow to enormous lengths. The tapeworm then eats off the host and is dangerous to the host as it grows and consumes more of the host and its food.
Flatworms are found in marine and fresh water.

A flatworm uses its muscular adhesive organs, called the pharynx, to catch and prey on its food. The pharynx helps the flatworm attach to its prey and consume it.
The mouth of a flatworm is called a "pharynx." It is a muscular structure that can extend out of the body to ingest food. Flatworms typically feed on small organisms or organic matter, using the pharynx to draw in their food.
after they get inside a host (an animal or person) it starts feeding off from it.
