  • Sponges (Porifera) have a body wall made of two layers of cells (an outer layer and an inner layer of collar cells), so in the textbook chart they are written as diploblastic. They have no body cavity (coelom).
  • Flatworms (Platyhelminthes) such as Planaria and liver fluke are triploblastic and acoelomate.
  • Roundworms (Aschelminthes) such as Ascaris are triploblastic with a pseudocoelom.
  • Arthropods such as cockroach and crab are triploblastic and coelomate.
