i think about how my teacher (who specializes in marine inverts) wanted to help her friend's kid with his hw, which was asking about the babies of animals (ex: dog and puppy), and one of the q's was about jellies. my teacher told him to write planula because y'know, basically jelly eggs. then the kid got the paper back and apparently the right answer was ephyra because "it's a miniature of the adult". my teacher proceeded to have a crisis over the definition of "baby". thought the jelly enthusiast would like this one

Omg. I hate the definition of “baby” so much because it changes for every animal. And with animals with full on life cycles, I would consider planula the baby. Ffs they’re called the “larvae”. I think that’s more than enough of a reason to be called the baby.

Tl;dr: i personally agree with your teacher’s answer, because the planula is a “larvae” type cycle
