Answer:

Cnidaria and Ctenophora are two types of phyla composed of coelenterates. Cnidarians live in both freshwater and marine habitats while ctenophores only live in the sea. Cnidarians are diversified animals than ctenophores. Both cnidarians and ctenophores are diploblastic animalsCnidarians exhibit radial symmetry whereas ctenophores exhibit biradial symmetry. Both contain tentacles, surrounding their mouth. The main difference between cnidarians and ctenophores is their body symmetry.The key difference between Cnidaria and Ctenophora is that the cnidaria show alteration of generation between medusa and polyp, while Ctenophora does not show alteration of generation; only medusa form is present.

Phylum Coelenterata is a subdivision of Kingdom Animalia. It consists of two main phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora and approximately 15000 species included. They are invertebrates and mostly marine organisms. There are freshwater species as well. They have a simple tissue organization with two layers of cells, and they do not have a coelom. They reproduce mainly by asexual reproduction; by budding. Phylum Cnidaria includes coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens, and their allies while phylum Ctenophora includes mainly comb jellies.
