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

    If the hole doesn't go through, it is only a pocket, typographically identical to a plate.

    *topologically

    (Typography is text font stuff)

    As in "topographically", which specifically refers to land surfaces?

    Edit: For the record, each of the following refers to a completely different thing:

    • Typography: fonts & stuff
    • Topography: land surfaces
    • Typology: classification
    • Topology: mathematics of objects and their geometric and morphological properties

    Why is the digestive sack not an organ?

    Organs are a distinct structure made of multiple tissues. So if this thing is just a few layers of tissue, then you can make the argument that the whole creature is essentially a single-organ organism.

    Truth be told, I suspect there is a certain amount of hyperbole in the infographic.
