Answer
<p>Planaria is commonly known as <strong>flatworm</strong> or belongs to the group <strong>Turbellaria</strong> within phylum <strong>Platyhelminthes</strong>. The scientific name often refers to the genus <em>Dugesia</em> or <em>Planaria</em>. These free-living flatworms are famous in biological research for their extraordinary <strong>regenerative abilities</strong>—a planarian cut into pieces can regenerate into multiple complete organisms. They inhabit freshwater environments, possess bilateral symmetry, lack body cavities (acoelomate), and have simple eyespots for light detection.</p>
