Sea anemones may resemble underwater flowers, but they are animals that live from sunlit tide pools to the deep sea. Their simple body plan centers on a single opening that serves multiple functions. Through it, anemones capture prey, expel waste, and release sperm or eggs into the surrounding water during seasonal spawning. This efficient design reflects their place among the earliest branches of animal life, where form and function remain closely intertwined.
