Do Any Invertebrates Have a Cloaca?

💡 The Answer

• Yes, some invertebrates have openings analogous to a cloaca.
• The context says 'excretory openings with analogous purpose in some invertebrates are also sometimes called cloacae'.
• This means they function similarly for excretion.
• Not all invertebrates, but certain groups use the term.
• The purpose is similar: a single exit for waste and often reproduction.
