The Portuguese man of war is classified as a hydroid because it belongs to the class Hydrozoa, which is part of the phylum Cnidaria. Despite its jellyfish-like appearance, it is actually a colonial organism composed of specialized polyps and medusoids that work together, functioning as a single entity. Each part has a specific role, such as capturing prey, buoyancy, or reproduction, which is characteristic of hydroid colonies. This unique structure and cooperative behavior distinguish it from true jellyfish.
