Meduses are fascinating animals, with their gelatinous and transparent body. This body is covered by a layer of plecting, which gives them support and protection. The plecting is a delicate but extremely flexible fabric, allowing the meduses to easily move in water. In addition, the plectênchyma also plays an important role in capturing prey, as it helps to direct the tentacles and facilitates the movement of cnidocytes, structures responsible for toxin release.
