1. Coelenterata

   Coelenterata is a term encompassing the animal phyla Cnidaria (coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens, and their relatives) and Ctenophora (comb jellies). The name comes from Ancient Greek κοῖλος (koîlos) 'hollow', and ἔντερον (énteron) 'intestine', referring to the hollow body cavity common to these two phyla. They have very simple tissue organization, with only two layers of cells (ectoderm and endoderm), and radial symmetry. Some examples are corals, which are typically colonial, and hydrae, jellyfish, and sea anemones, which are solitary. Coelenterata lack a specialized circulatory system relying instead on diffusion across the tissue layers.

1. coelenterata

   Coelenterata is an obsolete term formerly used to describe a major group of invertebrate animals, including jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals. It was used in the past to classify these organisms based on similarities in their body structure. These animals are characterized by a single body cavity, known as coelenteron, that serves multiple functions such as digestion and circulation. Modern classification now separates these organisms into two distinct phyla - Cnidaria and Ctenophora - based on more detailed understanding of their genetic and evolutionary relationships.
