Open in App
Solution
Operculum:
Flukes are parasitic worms that belong to the invertebrate class Trematoda and Platyhelminthes phylum.
A non-cellular cuticle covers the symmetrical body of a fluke.
Although some are sturdy and round in cross-section, the majority are flattened and leaflike or ribbonlike.
The eggs of parasitic flukes have brown shells and a tiny cap.
The larvae use this structure, known as the operculum, to escape danger.
