Description
The often overlooked Geoplanidae, present a remarkable example of biological adaptation and complexity. Contrary to the sometimes alarming misconception that all flatworms are harmful parasites, many species within the Geoplanidae are, in fact, completely free-living and non-parasitic. These organisms boast an unusual method of regeneration; they can regrow their entire bodies from a single segment, a trait that continues to intrigue scientists studying regenerative medicine. Their simple yet effective nervous and digestive systems shed light on evolutionary biology, showing how sophisticated functions can evolve in seemingly primitive organisms.
