How do jellyfish protect their polyps?

Jellyfish protect their polyps primarily through a mutualistic relationship with them. The adult jellyfish provide a mobile habitat for the polyps, which are the larval stage of jellyfish, allowing them to evade predators and access food sources in the water column. Additionally, the stinging cells (nematocysts) of the jellyfish can deter potential threats to the polyps, offering an extra layer of protection. This symbiotic relationship enhances the survival chances of both life stages.
