Solution

The statement is partially true and partially false. Ctenophora, also known as comb jellies, have been shown to exhibit characteristics of triploblasts, which is true. Triploblasts are organisms that develop from three germ layers: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. However, the second part of the statement is false. Ctenophora are not a sister group to metazoans, they are included within the metazoans. Metazoans are a group that includes all animals, and Ctenophora are a phylum within this group. So, they are not a sister group, but a part of the same group.
