Yes, flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes and do possess a mesoderm. They are acoelomate organisms, meaning they lack a true body cavity, but they have three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The mesoderm in flatworms contributes to the formation of muscles and other internal structures.
at a organ level of organization and they are acoelomates.

Nematodes have a pseudocoelom (a body cavity that is not completely lined by mesoderm), whereas flatworms have an acoelomate body plan (lack a body cavity). This means that nematodes have a body cavity, while flatworms do not have a true body cavity.
Flatworms and Roundworms have bilateral symmetry as a body type.
They have two layers the endoderm and ectoderm.
Flatworms are triploblastic organisms, meaning they have three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) that give rise to different tissues in their body. This allows them to have specialized structures like muscles and nerves. They have a solid body shape, lacking a body cavity or coelom.
Flatworms are considered to have a simple level of tissue organization, possessing three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They have a relatively simple body structure without specialized systems like those found in more complex animals. Instead of a circulatory or respiratory system, flatworms rely on diffusion for the transport of nutrients and gases. Additionally, they have a basic nervous system and muscular tissues, allowing for movement and response to their environment.
Rotifera, Platyhelminthes,Annelida,Mollusca,Nematoda,Arthropodaand Echinodermata.Cnidariaonly have two germ layers and Poriferado not have any germ layers because they don't have true tissues.
Mesoderm, specifically the visceral mesoderm layer consisting of mesoderm and endoderm.
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.
facts about flatworms
The three systems that developed in the mesoderm of the planarians are ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They are usually described as the three germ layers.
