Planaria are the type of flatworms belonging to phylum-Platyhelminthes. They are the simplest from of multicellular animal. The have a high capacity of regeneration of new tissue at the wound site via cell proliferation ( blastema formation) and the remodelling of pre-existing tissue to restore symmetry and proportion. This is due rieoblast cells.
The cells are usually scattered through out the body and are able to participate in any type of development. The regenerative capacity of different body sections is an indicator of the presence of different numbers of neoblast cells.
Body having meshwork of cells, internal cavities lined with food filtering flagellated cells and indirect development are the characteristic of phylum
