Sea urchins do not have a tongue like humans or many other animals. Instead, they possess a specialized feeding structure called Aristotle's lantern, which is made up of five calcified teeth and is used to scrape algae and other food from surfaces. This unique adaptation allows them to efficiently feed on their preferred food sources in their marine environments.
