The group name that means "stinging cells" is "Cnidaria." This phylum includes marine animals such as jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones, which possess specialized cells called cnidocytes. These cells contain nematocysts, which can inject toxins into prey or potential threats, providing both a method of capture and defense.

What does cnidarian mean?

Cnidiarian is the word for the phylum of jellyfish and sea anemomes. Some of the requirements to make it into the Cnidaria Phylum are possessing radial symmetry, having no nervous system or head but having a nerve net, and possessing nematocysts (which are stinging cells unique to cnidarians). Nematocysts are also called cnidea, which likely is the basis of the meaning of the name Cnidaria.
