Echinoderms, such as starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, have varied diets depending on their species. Many feed on bivalves, small invertebrates, and algae, using specialized feeding mechanisms like tube feet or eversible stomachs to capture or consume prey. Some, like sea cucumbers, are detritivores, feeding on organic matter in the sediment. Overall, their feeding habits reflect their diverse adaptations to marine environments.
