These most simple Plant-Animalsdiffer from the gastrula principally in the fact that theformer are attached by one end (that opposite to the mouth-opening) to the bottom of the sea, while the latter arefree. Moreover, the cells of the skin-layer are coalescent andhave included many foreign bodies, such as sponge-spicules,sand-grains, etc., which serve to support the body-wall(Fig. 180).
