They are triploblastic because they are apart of the phyla Echinodermata. If you look at the animal phylogenetic tree you can see that starfish are apart of the triploblasts. The difference between diploblastic and triploblastic is that diploblastic have two germ layers during development which are the ectoderm and endoderm. Triploblastic animals (like starfish, and humans) have three germ layers which are the ectoderm (outside), mesoderm (middle) and endoderm (inside).

Yes. they have two germ layers - or a two - layerd body wall. The epidermis and gastrodermis. Actually sponges lack true tissues and are therefore not diploblastic.


What is the group in which diploblastic animals found?
