Solution

a. I belong to the phylum Cnidaria- Diploblastic animals have two cell layers to their bodies, outer ectoderm, and inner endoderm. The phylum Cnidaria contains diploblastic animals. Acoelomate animals have no true body cavity such as Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Mesozoa, Nemertina, Gnathostomulida.

b. I belong to the phylum Echinodermata and my name is Starfish/Asterias- The water vascular system is a characteristic feature of all echinoderms. It includes a system of canals within the body in which the seawater circulates.
c. You belong to the phylum Aschelminthes and your name is Ascaris-The body cavity of phylum Aschelminthes is called pseudocoloem. It is filled with pseudocoelomic fluid. The body cavity is not lined by the mesodermal layer.
