Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cnidarians, such as jellyfish and corals, are the only group of animals that possess stinging cells called nematocysts. These cells can be used for both defense and capturing prey. Annelids (segmented worms) and roundworms do not have stinging cells, while sponges do have some defensive cells, but they are not specialized for stinging.
