Regeneration in planarians depends on the presence of stem cells called neoblasts. These cells are distributed throughout the body and, when part of the worm has been amputated, they are activated to reform the tissues that have been removed.
Some reasons:
→ They're cheap and common animals.
→ They can be either a source of meat, skin (leather) or milk.
→ Farmers benefit a lot with them, since what they produce are things of everyday consumption.
→ You don't need to spend much to be able to have them (mostly only with land).
