Solenofilomorphidae [Solenofilomorphidae]

Description

Solenofilomorphidae encompasses a group of marine acoel worms with distinctive elongated, filamentous bodies. These creatures are adapted to life within the marine sediment, moving between grains of sand or mud. Their simple body plan does not include a digestive system, and they absorb nutrients directly through their body wall. Solenofilomorphids are important contributors to the marine sediment ecosystem, participating in the breakdown of organic matter.
