No, echinoderms do not have backbones. They are a group of marine animals that includes starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, and they belong to the phylum Echinodermata. Instead of a backbone, echinoderms have a hard, calcareous endoskeleton made up of ossicles, which are small calcium carbonate structures. This unique skeletal system provides support and protection without the presence of a vertebral column.
