Definition of Placozoans Hierarchical Category as it relates to Animals, Amphibians

Placozoans are a phylum of primitive invertebrate animals that consist of a small number of relatively unspecialized cells. They are marine organisms with a simple structure, lacking any organs or body symmetry. They are closely related to other animal groups such as amphibians, which are cold-blooded vertebrates typically living both in water and on land, in their evolutionary history. Despite their simplicity, Placozoans play a significant role in the animal kingdom and contribute to the biodiversity of marine ecosystems.
