Question

this is a sea anemone, which belongs to phylum cnidaria. what term do we use to describe this animals body form? polyp medusa asymmetrical

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cnidarians have two main body forms. The polyp form is sessile (attached to a surface), with a cylindrical body and a mouth surrounded by tentacles. Sea anemones are attached to substrates (like rocks) and have this cylindrical, attached body structure. The medusa form is free - swimming (like jellyfish). Asymmetrical is not the correct term for the body form of cnidarians; cnidarians are radially symmetrical. Since sea anemones are attached and have the polyp - like structure.

Answer:

polyp
