There is no specific scientific name, there is only a Greek root word.
The flatworm's scientific name (or at least its Phylum) is Platyhelminthes. I can't give you the real scientific name (which is the genus and species) because there are more than one species of flatworm.
The marine flatworm belongs to the Phylum Platyhelminthes.
There are three classes in the platyhelminthes phylum. These classes include Turbellaria, Monogenea, and Trematoda. These classes still break down into orders, families, genus, and species. I'm still looking for the rest.
The phylum with the most species that parasitize humans is Platyhelminthes, specifically the class Trematoda (flukes) and the class Cestoda (tapeworms). These parasites can cause diseases such as schistosomiasis and cysticercosis in humans.
A planaria belongs to the phylum Platyhelminthes.
There are 20,000 known species

If you mean parasitic flatworms, they belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes.
No, not all members of phylum Platyhelminthes are parasitic. While some species within this phylum are parasitic, like tapeworms and flukes, others are free-living and can be found in various aquatic and terrestrial environments.
