Detailed explanation-2: -1. Body organs cannot move freely but are embedded in solid mesoderm tissue. 2. It is more difficult for materials to move from the gut to the body wall. A solution to both problems is to have some sort of body cavity, called a coelom, in which the body organs lie bathed in body fluid.
