General Description. Phylum- Platyhelminthes contains flatworms. Soft, unsegmented, & flat (no more than a few mm thick). Tissues (tripoblastic) & internal organ systems. Simplest animals to have: 3 embryonic germ layers, bilateral symmetry, & cephalization. Adaptive Benefits of a Pseudocoelom - a space between the guts and the . body wall .
