it has a cuticle that it sheds in order to grow.
its larvae have cilia that they use for feeding and locomotion.
it is shaped like a worm.
it has a well-developed coelom.

Its larvae have cilia that they use for feeding and locomotion.

Explanation:

Flatworms or platyhelminths are simple organisms with bilateral symmetry. Their body is unsegmented and soft with different shapes. Flatworms don’t have body cavity, have no specialized circulatory and respiratory organs. There are four main groups of them: Turbellaria, which are mostly non-parasitic animals such as planarians, Cestoda, Trematoda and Monogenea (all three of them are parasitic groups).

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.
