CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Non-habitat screen review (#108): Host-associated > Invertebrates > Platyhelminthes denotes flatworms acting as microbial hosts. An external taxon term supports that reading but is not present in the committed slice, so it is not asserted as an xref. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.769955119f)

DEFINED
Defined as 'platyhelminth-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition authored from the existing item-level #108 decision; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Host-associated > Invertebrates > Platyhelminthes source denotes flatworms acting as microbial hosts and carries 11 organism assertions. ENVO:01001002 is the tightest existing ontology genus because flatworms are animals, while the source-inherited invertebrate-associated parent preserves the narrower GOLD host grouping separately.
