Question

Are corals triploblastic?

Answer 1

Triploblastic organisms

1. During embryonic growth in some organisms, the cell arranges into three germ layers- the inner endoderm, middle mesoderm, and outer ectoderm.
2. Various body tissues and organs are derived from all these three layers. Such organisms are called triploblastic organisms.

Corals:

1. Corals are invertebrate aquatic animals that belong to the phylum Cnidaria.
2. Corals are not triploblastic. They are diploblastic animals having ectoderm and endoderm.
