What is Characteristics of Entoprocta Phylum about?
Entoprocta are a unique phylum of aquatic invertebrates that have existed since the Cambrian period. They are distinguished by their bilateral symmetry, two tissue layers, and lack of a true body cavity. Most species are colonial and attach themselves to surfaces to filter feed via ciliated tentacles, though some live solitary lifestyles. Genetic analysis shows Entoprocta are most closely related to annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.
