Solution

Flatworms:

  1. Worms in the phylum Platyhelminthes are called flatworms because they have flattened bodies.
  2. Flatworms are hermaphrodites, meaning that both male and female sex organs are present in them.
  3. These insects are true hermaphrodites, having both ovaries and testes and being genetically male and female at the same time.

Flatworms are gender-fluid.
