Answer:

False.

The structure that allows a tapeworm to attach to its host is called a scolex. The scolex contains the tapeworm's nervous system and reproductive organs. A corona, on the other hand, is a structure found in some species of invertebrates, such as ctenophores (also known as comb jellies), that is used for swimming and feeding. The corona is a band of cilia (tiny hair-like structures) that are used for propulsion and to capture small planktonic organisms.
