Echinoderms, a group that includes starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, exhibit a range of mobility. While many species, like sea stars, can move slowly using tube feet, others, such as sea cucumbers, can be more sedentary but are not completely sessile. Some echinoderms, like certain sea lilies, are largely attached to the substrate and display a sessile lifestyle. Overall, echinoderms can be both mobile and, to a lesser extent, sessile, depending on the species.
Yes. Classes of mollusks which include clams, oysters, and other bivalves are sessile filter feeders.
Yes, several. Most crinoids are sessile and live their life attached to underwater rocks, as do several starfish species.
Sessile echinoderms, such as sea cucumbers and sea lilies, typically feed by filtering particles from the water or using their tube feet to capture food, relying on water currents for nutrient delivery. In contrast, mobile echinoderms, like starfish and sea urchins, actively seek out food sources, often preying on other organisms or grazing on algae. This difference in feeding habits reflects their adaptations to their respective lifestyles, with sessile species being more reliant on passive feeding mechanisms, while mobile species exhibit more active foraging behaviors.

Echinoderms are primarily classified as benthos, as they typically inhabit the ocean floor and are often found attached to substrates or crawling along the sea bottom. While some echinoderms, like certain species of starfish and sea cucumbers, may exhibit limited movement, they are not considered nekton, which refers to actively swimming organisms. Instead, echinoderms play important roles in benthic ecosystems.
they are sessile
Sessile means attached. So a sessile organism is attached to a substrate.
Tapinoma sessile was created in 1917.

Most sessile animals are of the phylum Mollusca.
