A coral polyp consists of several key parts, including the oral disc, which houses the mouth and tentacles used for feeding, and the basal disc, which anchors the polyp to the substrate. The tentacles are equipped with specialized cells called nematocysts that help capture prey and provide defense. The body wall is composed of both an outer layer (epidermis) and an inner layer (gastrodermis), with a gelatinous substance called mesoglea in between, providing structural support. Additionally, polyps have a central gastrovascular cavity for digestion and nutrient distribution.
