The advantage is that the animal is able to eat much larger prey and use the organic materials it receives from the animal to more efficiently carry out processes in the body. There is a gastrovascular cavity that digests the food and also transports nutrients to specific places in the body. The extracellular digestion allows food that was eaten previously to keep on being digested while more food is eaten. Intracellular does not let this happen; the food vacuole has to be empty before eating more.
