The annelid digestive tract is a complete system with a distinct mouth and anus, allowing for a one-way flow of food, which enhances digestion and nutrient absorption. In contrast, cnidarians, such as jellyfish and sea anemones, have a simple gastrovascular cavity that serves both digestive and circulatory functions, with only one opening. Flatworms also possess a gastrovascular cavity but lack specialized sections for digestion, making their system less efficient than that of annelids. This structural complexity in annelids allows for more advanced digestive processes.
