Question

why are anelids called to have true coelom

Answer 1

Some organisms may not possess a coelom or may have a false coelom(pseudocoelom). Animals having coelomsare called coelomates, and those without are called acoelomates. There are also subtypes of coelom: schizocoelom: develops from split in mesoderm found in annelids, arthropods and molluscs.

Answer 2

The lack of a coelom is correlated with a reduction in body size.

Coelom is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to any developed digestive tract.
