Coelom is the internal body cavity of most of the triploblastic animals which lie between body wall and visceral organs and is formed by the splitting of mesoderm into outer and inner layers. Example : Earthworm, chordates.
Coelom is a fluid filled space between the body wall and gut wall and lined by mesoderm on all of its sides. Animals that possess a fluid filled cavity between body wall and digestive tract are known as coelomates.
The coelom is the main body cavity in most animals and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the digestive tract and other organs. In some animals, it is lined with mesothelium. In other animals, such as molluscs, it remains undifferentiated.
