Spongilla —Acoelomate

Planaria—Acoelomate
Liver fluke—Acoelomate
Wuchereria—Pseudocoelomate
Ascaris—Pseudocoelomate
Nereis—Coelomate
Scorpion—Coelomate
Earthworm—Coelomate
Birds, Fishes and Horse—Coelomate
The coelom is the main body cavity in most animals and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the digestive tract and other organs.
Animals having coeloms are called coelomates, and those without are called acoelomates.
A pseudocoelomate is an organism with body cavity that is not derived from the mesoderm, as in a true coelom, or body cavity.
