Diploblasty is a condition of the early embryo in which there are two primary germ layers: the ectoderm and endoderm.
Diploblasts are the organisms which develop with two germ layers, and include Cnidaria and Ctenophora, formerly grouped together in the phylum Coelenterata, but later understanding of their differences resulted in their being placed in separate phyla.
