"Cnidaria have a special organ known as cnidoblast which acts as organs of defense for them.


These organs are actually modified interstitial cells of the epithelial layer of the cnidarians.


They are important organs of defense and helps in keeping away predators from them.


The sharp outline of the cnidoblasts coupled with the poisonous sting often debilitates the predator and allows the cnidarians to escape.

Cnidoblast is the special cell serving as organs of offence and defence in chindaria.

Explanation:  

  • Cnidoblast is a modification of the interstitial cell. These interstitial cells develop from the epithelial cell lining which are present in the external part of the body of cnedarians.  
  • The epithelial lining contain sharp pointed outgrowth. They contain poisonous substances and hence they act as an offence organ of these organisms.  
  • In addition to this they also prevent the predators from coming in contact with this organisms. These are also known as cnidarian needles.  
  • So the cnidoblast are known as the organ of offence and defence in the cnedarians.
