Cephalization is a process of formation of distinct head.It was first seen in the group Platyhelminthes.The anterior part of the body first enters into a new environment.Hence a need for development of special modification was required to sense the new environment.Therefore head was developed in the mean period of evolution,with sensory organs,to detect dangers,to detect the prey for feed,search for suitable mates...etc.Hence without cephalization,it is not that easy to survive in the environment.

What is the disadvantage of cephalization?
