Arthropods and echinoderms are two distinct groups of invertebrates. Arthropods, such as insects, Spiders, and crustaceans, have segmented bodies, exoskeletons made of chitin, and jointed appendages. In contrast, echinoderms, which include starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, possess a radial symmetry, a calcareous endoskeleton, and a water vascular system for movement and feeding. Additionally, arthropods are primarily found in terrestrial and aquatic environments, while echinoderms are exclusively marine organisms.

The animal with a segmented body is called an arthropod.


Are crabs echinoderms?

No, crabs are not echinoderms. Echinoderms are a group of marine animals that include starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, characterized by their radial symmetry. Crabs belong to a different group called crustaceans, which includes animals like lobsters, shrimp, and barnacles.


Why are Echinoderms classified into phylum Chordata?

Echinoderms are not classified in phylum Chordata. They belong to their own phylum called Echinodermata. Chordates, on the other hand, are characterized by the presence of a notochord, which echinoderms lack.


Ecological relationship of echinoderms to other organisms?

Echinoderms have various ecological relationships with other organisms. For example, they may have mutualistic relationships with certain species that help them remove parasites, or they may have predatory relationships with smaller organisms that they feed on. Echinoderms also provide habitats for other organisms by creating complex structures on the seafloor.


Which organism would be classified as an arthropod a starfish or a snail?

A snail would not be classified as an arthropod; it is a mollusk. A starfish, on the other hand, is classified as an echinoderm, not an arthropod either. Arthropods include organisms like insects, arachnids, and crustaceans, characterized by their exoskeletons and segmented bodies. Therefore, neither the starfish nor the snail is an arthropod.

What is the major difference between echinoderms and other invertebrates?

The major difference between echinoderms and other invertebrates is that there are few examples echinoderms that do not live in ocean water and none live on land. There are examples of other invertebrates that live in both fresh and salt water and on land. Echinoderms also display radial symmetry as do the jellyfish and sea anemones. If you want to tag the one thing that echinoderms have that no other living invertebrate has, you would probably have to point to their water vascular system (see link). If you have the McGraw Hill science textbook for 6th grade then you are all set. Look on pages A40-A48.
