  • The flatworms are flat, bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic animals. 
  • These are acoelomates with organ system level of organisation.
  • They are endoparasites. They have hooks or suckers or both. 
  • They show pseudosegmentation.
  • Flame cells or solanocytes are the excretory cells. 
  • Sexes are not separate.
  • Fertilization is internal. Development is indirect with many larval stages like miracidium sporocyst, redia, cercaria and metacercaria. e.g., Taenia and liver fluke.
