A
pseudocoelom
B
schizocoel
C
haemocoel
D
enterocoelom.
Answer
pseudocoelom
Explanation
Solution
Roundworms have a body cavity called pseudocoelom consisting of a fluid-filled space between the body wall and digestive tract. Pseudocoelom is derived from the blastocoel of the embryo rather than from a secondary cavity within the embryonic mesoderm (which results in a true body cavity or coelom). The internal organs of pseudocoelomate animals are actually found free within the fluid-filled body cavity as there is no layer of mesodermal epithelium lining the cavity and surrounding the organs.
