👉 Phylactolemata is a type of animal that has an extra layer of skin on its body that helps it to absorb water and maintain proper hydration. This layer, known as the epidermis, acts as a barrier to protect the skin from harmful substances like dust and allergens, while also providing insulation for the internal organs. Phylactolemata is found in many animals, including humans, but not all species have this extra layer of skin.
