Here's why:
* Protonephridia are simple excretory organs found in many invertebrates, including flatworms like planarians and flukes.
* They consist of a network of branching tubules that collect waste products from the body fluids.
* These tubules end in flame cells, which are specialized cells with cilia that beat and create a current to draw waste into the tubules.
* The waste is then transported through the tubules and excreted from the body through pores called nephridiopores.
