"existing for no clear reason"

So like every other life form we know of?

it doesn't even have a hole in the sense that it's for an entrance and exit as a single hole through.

it's literally just a cavity, like a trench

You found a MAGA voter

That looks like self-propeled bacon.

Has no organs

Looks inside...

...organs.

It’s disturbing to me that so many people search for what something is used for or what’s the value or right to life a creature has. The point of life is to live. If you are successful you maybe make a child or split into a copy of yourself when you get enough food.

Purpose is something you accept for yourself. Imposing it on others is diabolically evil when they don’t have a thing to do with your clade. And still, it would be the case that a person would look at an animal and say “what’s the point of you?”

No clear reason? It's because the thing can successfully make more of itself before dying. That's literally it.

exists for no clear reason

Sounds like Humans

Imagine scientists declaring that you are not interesting enough to be technically alive and you have been officially kicked out.

It truly has one hole, in that it eats, has a digestive sack, and then vomits the poop

Exist for no reason? All life has a purpose, and that is to poop. The excrement speaks for itself.

The ocean's condom.

Ah, found reddit mods!

So from the wiki

The monophyly of Xenacoelomorpha soon became established, but its position as either a basal bilaterian clade or a deuterostome remained unresolved until 2016, when two new studies, with increased gene and taxon sampling, again placed Xenoturbella as the sister group of Acoelomorpha within Xenacoelomorpha, and placed Xenacoelomorpha as sister to Nephrozoa (Protostomia plus Deuterostomia), and therefore the basalmost bilaterian phylum<

Seems like "where on the tree of life" is "the first bilaterals" which makes sense. They seem very worm-like in bodyplan. Shit from the Pre-Cambrian can look pretty alien and have shaky relationships to more derived species.

I don't think any natural thing exists for a reason. That's reserved for things made or at least caused by sentient beings.

The universe is a chain of cause and effect, and the only way to interpret "a reason" for something without introducing artificial human constructs of morality, is "what caused it?". The process of evolution caused this.

Would.

It eats.

It is thus the primordial consumer.

... kinda does bare a resemblance to what AM turns Ted into...

It looks like they do get new openings on the surface that excrete eggs and sperm.
