What kind of symmetry do platyhelminthes exhibit?

Platyhelminthes, or flatworms, exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their bodies can be divided into two mirror-image halves along a single plane. This symmetry is associated with their more complex body structure and movement patterns compared to organisms with radial symmetry. Bilateral symmetry allows for the development of a head (cephalization) and a more organized nervous system. Overall, this body plan supports their lifestyle as active and mobile predators or scavengers.
