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

      As an animal myself, I’d like to object.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Scientists do love to talk about worms

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

  • TheTechnician27@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

  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.
