What is the coelom of the earthworm?
The coelom of an earthworm is its body cavity. There are three categories for grouping animals according to their coeloms: coelomate (animals that have a true coelom lined by muscle tissue on both sides), pseudocoelomate (animals that have a coelom line by muscle tissue only on one side), and acoelomates (animals that do not have a body cavity lined by muscle tissue on either side). Earthworms are acoelomate animals.
