Echinoderms are a phylum of marine animals characterized by their radial symmetry, a water vascular system, and a calcareous endoskeleton. This group includes species such as sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. The name "echinoderm" comes from the Greek words "echinos" meaning "spiny" and "derma" meaning "skin," reflecting their often spiny or rough exterior. Echinoderms are unique for their ability to regenerate lost body parts and play important roles in marine ecosystems.
