This statement is true. Lophotrochozoa is a clade (group of organisms with a common ancestor) that includes several phyla, including Sipuncula (peanut worms), Cycliophora (a recently discovered phylum), Brachiopoda (lampshells), Ectoprocta (moss animals), and Phoronida (horseshoe worms). However, the exact composition of the Lophotrochozoa clade is still somewhat debated among scientists.
