Question

What happens when free living flatworms are damaged?

Answer 1

Flatworms:

1. Planaria is a free-living freshwater flatworm.
2. Planaria belongs to the class Turbellaria, which mostly contains free-living species.
3. Some of the flatworms such as Planaria possess high regeneration capacity.
4. Flatworm when damaged gets regenerated by itself.
5. This is a process in which body parts that are missing due to damage or predation can be regrown.

Thus, flatworms regenerate when damaged.
