Solution

Rotifers:

  1. The rotifers, often known as wheel creatures or wheel animalcules,
  2. Rotifers act as carriers of nutrients to the larvae because they themselves lack any nutritional value; instead, the nutrients are provided by the algae that they consume.
  3. Although most species of rotifers are produced as food for aquariums, filter-feeding invertebrates, and fish fry, they are of little economic value to humans when found in the wild.
  4. Thus, No rotifers do not cause disease.
