A sea cucumber's madreporite is located internally to help regulate water intake and maintain internal pressure without exposing it to external environmental conditions. This adaptation allows for better control of water flow and facilitates respiration and locomotion through the water vascular system, while also protecting the madreporite from potential damage and contamination. By having it internal, sea cucumbers can thrive in various marine environments while minimizing risks associated with predation and physical abrasion.
