Solution

The body of an organism is divided into two equal right and left halves by cutting it only on the median axis or long axis of the animal.
In animals with bilateral symmetry organs are well developed.
In them, the coelomic cavity may be either absent or well developed.
For example, Planaria (Platyhelminthes) etc.
