The nerve net of a cnidarian, such as a jellyfish or sea anemone, is a decentralized network of interconnected nerve cells that coordinates their movements and responses to stimuli. It allows for basic reflex actions and the contraction of muscle-like cells, enabling functions such as swimming, feeding, and responding to environmental changes. Unlike a centralized nervous system, the nerve net operates in a more diffuse manner, facilitating simple behavioral patterns essential for survival.
