The tissue that lines the gastrovascular cavity in organisms like cnidarians is called gastrodermis. It is responsible for digestion and absorption of nutrients from the food.
Hmmm, Mrs Perry's class I see. It occurs in the gastrovascular cavity.
Both flukes and cnidarians possess a gastrovascular cavity for digestion. This cavity serves the purpose of digestion and distribution of nutrients throughout the organism's body.
1. digestion 2. circulation 3. physical support and movement

All cnidarians live in water, have tentacles with specialized stinging cells called nematocysts, and have an internal sac for digestion which is called the gastrovascular cavity.
Cnidarians do not have a true coelom (body cavity lined with mesoderm). Instead, they have a simple body plan with a central digestive cavity called the gastrovascular cavity. This cavity serves for both digestion and circulation of nutrients.
Poriferans needs organic substances and cnidarians needs of a gastrovascular cavity with openings.
Most fungi digest their food by extracellular digestion, or at least some hydrolysis occur beforehand. Meaning the food is broken down in compartments that are continuous with the outside of the fungi's body. Example of such an compartment: Gastrovascular cavity.
