Echinoderms are commonly known as "spiny-skinned animals." This group includes familiar marine creatures such as starfish (or sea stars), sea urchins, sand dollars, sea cucumbers, and brittle stars. They are characterized by their radial symmetry and a water vascular system, which aids in movement and feeding.
The scientific name for Echinoderms is Echinodermata.
Yes, all echinoderms have radial symmetry.
Sea stars, also called starfish, are echinoderms belonging to the class Asteroidea.
yes

They got the name from the Greek "spiny-skinned"
Echinoderm literally means "spiny skin." Echinoderms are invertebrates that are generally found in the ocean. They have exoskeletons and spines or needle-like protrusions all over them. Common echinoderms are: Starfish, sea urchins and sand dollars.

Echinoderms and deuterostomes share a fundamental evolutionary relationship, as echinoderms are a subgroup within the deuterostome clade. This indicates that both groups, along with chordates and hemichordates, share a common ancestor, highlighting their evolutionary link. Deuterostomes are characterized by their embryonic development, where the anus forms before the mouth, a feature that distinguishes them from protostomes. This shared developmental pattern suggests that echinoderms and deuterostomes have diverged from a common lineage, influencing their anatomical and physiological traits.
They are "Fromia monolis" and are classed as "Echinoderms".
They have spiny skin and the name comes from Greek word 'echinoderm' which means 'spiny skin'
