Ans) There are nine different type of animal phyla, those are:

b) Phylum cnideria :  contains cnidocyte or venomous cells that helps collect and transmit sensory information; body symmetry: radial (eg. jellyfishes)

c)   Phylum platyhelminthes :  flat worms; lacks a coelom and other body cavities; can be found in marine or fresh water; body symmetry: bilateral (eg. tapeworms)

d) Phylum nametoda : the roundworms; very long and narrow; body symmetry: bilateral ( eg. ascaris )

e) Phylum Annelida :  have long bodies that have segments divided externally by shallow rings; body symmetry: bilateral; (eg. earthworms)

f) Phylum mollusca :  one of the largest phyla composed of many diverse organisms; all have a soft body; body structure composed of three parts; body symmetry: bilaterarl (eg. octopus, snails, oysters)

Phylim echindodermeta :  means spiky skin; dwells at the bottom of the ocean floor; body symmetry: radial (eg. starfishes, sea lilies, sea urchins)

g)Phylum arthropoda :  has jointed appendages (body extensions that give them a wide range of controlled motion); most successful because they are the most diverse, living in a great range of habitats; body symmetry: bilateral; ( eg. lobsters, centipedes, butterflies, spiders)
