The video explores the fascinating characteristics of simple animals, starting with the differences between invertebrates and vertebrates. It highlights the features of sponges and the Nidaria group, including jellyfish, coral, and sea anemones. The discussion then moves to the three major groups of worms: flatworms, roundworms, and annelids, followed by mollusks like clams, oysters, and mussels. The largest group, arthropods, is examined for their exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages. Finally, echinoderms such as starfish and sea urchins are covered. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to reflect on these simple animals in everyday life.
