  No clear reason? It’s because the thing can successfully make more of itself before dying. That’s literally it.

    It also only has one hole, which, if you ask some topologists, is what humans have.

      I thought most humans are 7 holes

  It truly has one hole, in that it eats, has a digestive sack, and then vomits the poop

    vomits the poop

    If the hole doesn’t go through, it is only a pocket, typographically identical to a plate.

    Why is the digestive sack not an organ?

  Exist for no reason? All life has a purpose, and that is to poop. The excrement speaks for itself.

    It sounds like it doesn’t have a poop hole

  It’s disturbing to me that so many people search for what something is used for or what’s the value or right to life a creature has. The point of life is to live. If you are successful you maybe make a child or split into a copy of yourself when you get enough food.

  Purpose is something you accept for yourself. Imposing it on others is diabolically evil when they don’t have a thing to do with your clade. And still, it would be the case that a person would look at an animal and say “what’s the point of you?”

    I also find that to be a weird question to consider, as though something must have a purpose to be worthy of existence

    In that vein, what is the point of humans? To bring on the 6th mass extinction?

  I don’t think any natural thing exists for a reason. That’s reserved for things made with intention by sentient beings.

  Scientists do love to talk about worms

  This has some details: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenacoelomorpha?wprov=sfti1…

  • TheTechnician27@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Bit of clarification: Xenacoelomorpha is the phylum that the genus Xenoturbella is under.

    Someone left a tag at the top of the Xenacoelomorpha article advocating a rewrite, which I could probably quickly investigate right now (or even just check WoRMS) if I weren’t currently a lazy lump of dead weight. Without assessing the tag’s merits, I’d at least advise treading lightly as a heuristic.

  The universe is a chain of cause and effect, and the only way to interpret “a reason” for something without introducing artificial human constructs of morality, is “what caused it?”. The process of evolution caused this.

  If it has at least one hole, then it exists for a reason. ;)

  recently the phylogenetic studies place this with another unusual bilaterian animal( very basal animals(Post-sponge creatures), they couldnt figure out which things this is related to.
