The existence of both Medusa and polyp forms in cnidarians offers several advantages. The medusa stage, often free-swimming, allows for increased dispersal and the ability to capture prey over a larger area, enhancing reproductive opportunities. In contrast, the polyp stage is typically sessile, providing stability and a secure environment for growth and asexual reproduction. This dual life cycle enables cnidarians to adapt to varying environmental conditions and optimize their survival and reproductive strategies.
