No, sea cucumbers do not perform photosynthesis. They are marine animals belonging to the echinoderm phylum and primarily feed on organic matter on the ocean floor, such as detritus and microorganisms. Unlike plants and certain algae, sea cucumbers lack chlorophyll and the necessary structures to harness sunlight for energy.
