\nCoelenterata (now more commonly called Cnidaria) includes jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals, characterized by a radial symmetry and stinging cells (cnidocytes). Platyhelminthes are flatworms (e.g., tapeworms, flukes), known for their flattened body shape and bilateral symmetry. Echinodermata includes marine animals like starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, characterized by radial symmetry (often pentaradial) and a water vascular system.
