Answer Details
Hydrostatic skeleton is the type of supporting system found in oligochaetes and some other invertebrates like cnidarians and flatworms. In this type of skeleton, the body is supported by a fluid-filled cavity, which acts as a hydrostatic skeleton. The muscles of the body wall contract against the fluid, generating a pressure that supports the body and provides the necessary rigidity for movement. The oligochaetes, which are a type of annelid worms, use hydrostatic skeletons to burrow in soil and move through water.
