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.
Yes, flatworms have a tissue-organ grade of organization. They have distinct tissues that perform specific functions, such as muscle tissue for movement and nerve tissue for coordination. They also have simple organ systems, such as a digestive system with a mouth and intestine.
yes
Both have internal organ systems and get their food using a pharynx.
have internal organ systems and both can harm you
Their cells are too close to the animal's exterior surface.

Flatworms can cause various diseases in humans, including schistosomiasis, cysticercosis, and fascioliasis. These diseases can result from the parasitic activity of different types of flatworms and can affect various organs and systems in the body, leading to a range of symptoms and health complications.
Flatworms exhibit a bilateral symmetry and aacoelomate body plan, meaning they lack a body cavity and have a simplified organization with three tissue layers. In contrast, cnidarians have a radial symmetry and a body plan characterized by a gelatinous mesoglea layer, with two main tissue layers: the ectoderm and endoderm, and a central gastrovascular cavity. Additionally, cnidarians possess specialized cells called cnidocytes for capturing prey, which flatworms lack. Overall, these fundamental differences in symmetry, body organization, and tissue structure distinguish flatworms from cnidarians.

facts about flatworms
Flatowrms have muscle cells, they are a triploblastic phylum. They have endo, meso and ectoderm layersSponges are Parazoa and lack any true tissue at allCnidaria are diploblastic, having only endoderm and ectoderm
