6. Diploblastic and Triploblastic Organization:
-
Animals are classified based on the number of germ layers (tissue layers) during embryonic development:
-
Diploblastic: Organisms with two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm). Cnidarians like jellyfish and corals are examples.
-
Triploblastic: Organisms with three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm). Most animals, including vertebrates, are triploblastic.
