Class Crinoidea, commonly known as sea lilies and feather stars, is a group of marine animals belonging to the phylum Echinodermata. They are characterized by their cup-shaped body and feathery arms that extend from the body, which they use for feeding by capturing plankton and small particles from the water. Crinoids can be found in various ocean depths, from shallow waters to the deep sea, and they can either be sessile (attached to the substrate) or free-swimming. This class has a rich fossil record, dating back to the Cambrian period, making them one of the oldest groups of echinoderms.

What is the classification of feather stars?
Feather stars belong to the class Crinoidea within the phylum Echinodermata. They are marine animals characterized by their feathery arms that are used for feeding and locomotion. Crinoidea is further divided into two main groups: feather stars (or comatulids) and stalked crinoids. Feather stars are typically free-swimming and can be found in various oceanic environments.

What are examples echinoderemata?
Five classes of echinodermata exist: 1. Class Asteroidea - Sea stars or starfish 2. Class Ophiuroidea - The brittlestars or serpent stars 3. Class Echinoidea - Sea urchins , heart urchins and sand dollars 4. Class Holothuroidea - Sea cucumbers 5. Class Crinoidea - Sea lilies and feather stars 6. Class Concentricycloidea - Sea daisies
Differences between sea urchins and sea cucumbers?
Echinoderms are a category of sea invertebrates; there are 5 groups of echinoderms, Asteroidea, Crinoidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea and Ophiuroidea. A sea cucumber is a holothuroidea; their lengthy body surrounded by leathery skin identifies holothuroideas. A sea lily is a crinoidea; crinoidea feed off the seabed with a mouth at the top of their body.
