Echinoderm Facts
In this video, I answer " what is an echinoderm. An echinoderm is part of the animal kingdom, has radial symmetry, and lives in the ocean.
There are five main groups, starfish, feather stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins.
These animals can reproduce both sexually and asexually by fragmentation.

Welcome to MooMooMath and Science In this video I would like to talk about the
Phylum Echinoderms Echinoderms belong in the animal kingdom.
They are organisms found in the ocean and most of the time on the bottom of the ocean.
Let's take a look at the five main groups of Echinoderms
All Echinoderms have a radial symmetry and they usually have five or more arms.
They don't have a heart, a brain, or even eyes.
Their mouth is generally found underneath and their anus is found on top.
They have suction pads on their extremities.
Let's take a look at these.
Echinoderms do have the ability to move and they move in various ways.
Most are carnivores and they feed on sponges and other mollusks, but many are scavengers
and some are decomposers.
Many Echinoderms can regenerate their limbs.
And finally they reproduce both sexually and some reproduce asexually through fragmentation.
Echinoderms a pretty cool phylum.
