	Flatworms have a diverse diet that varies depending on the species. Many flatworms are carnivorous and feed on small animals (example: crustaceans, corals, and other [[invertebrates]]) while some are scavengers and feed on dead or decaying organic matter. There are also parasitic flatworms that feed on the tissues and fluids of their host [[organisms]].		Flatworms have a diverse diet that varies depending on the species.

			Flatworms can be found in a wide range of habitats, including freshwater, marine environments, and damp [[soil]]. Some species are also parasitic and can live inside the bodies of other [[animals]].

			Flatworms have a diverse diet that varies depending on the species. Many flatworms are carnivorous and feed on small animals (example: crustaceans, corals, and other [[invertebrates]]) while some are scavengers and feed on dead or decaying organic matter. There are also parasitic flatworms that feed on the tissues and fluids of their host [[organisms]].

	=Reproduction=		=Reproduction=
			Flatworms species are hermaphroditic, meaning that they have both male and female reproductive organs. Some species can also reproduce asexually by splitting themselves into two or more pieces that can then regenerate into complete individuals.

	=Anthropogenic Benefits=		=Anthropogenic Benefits=
			Some flatworms are important predators, helping to control populations of small animals and maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. Additionally, flatworms can help to break down dead organic matter, which contributes to nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Some species of flatworms also have medical applications, as they produce compounds that have potential for use in medecine.

	=Anthropogenic Drawbacks=		=Anthropogenic Drawbacks=
			Flatworms can be harmful to humans and animals as parasites, causing diseases or negatively affecting their hosts' health.
