Solution
Pseudocoelomate:
The pseudocoelomates belong to the phylum Nematoda/Aschelminthes.
Mesoderm is a layer of cells that lines the organism's bodily cavity. A coelom is the name for this bodily cavity.
The body cavity of pseudocoelomates is filled with fluid, but it is not lined by mesodermal epithelial cells. As a result, it's known as a fake coelom, and the organisms are known as pseudocoelomates.
