Flatworms are a type of invertebrate belonging to the phylum Platyhelminthes. They are not caused by any external factors but are a result of evolutionary processes. Flatworms can be found in various environments, including freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their characteristics, such as a flattened body shape, are adaptations that have evolved over millions of years for survival and reproduction. Some flatworms are parasitic, while others are free-living, reflecting their diverse ecological roles.

Flatworms include both endoparasitic and free-living species. Many flatworms, such as tapeworms and flukes, are indeed endoparasites that live inside the bodies of their hosts, often causing harm. In contrast, other flatworms, like planarians, are free-living and found in aquatic environments. Thus, while some flatworms are endoparasites, not all flatworms fit this classification.
flatworms cannot make their own food.
