Echinodermata

Echinodermata – Il termine echinoderma deriva dal greco ἐχῖνος (echînos), porcospino, e δέρμα (dérma), pelle. Gli Echinodermi sono un phylum di deuterostomi marini. L'origine del phylum risale al Cambriano inferiore e le specie viventi sono circa 6.000. Questo phylum si compone di 5 principali tipi di animali: stelle marine, ricci di mare, cetrioli di mare, stelle fragili e crinoidi.

Echinodermata – The word echinoderm is made up from Greek ἐχῖνος (echînos), hedgehog, sea-urchin, and δέρμα (dérma), skin. Echinoderms (Phylum Echinodermata) are a phylum of marine animals. The adults are recognizable by their (usually five-point) radial symmetry, and include such well-known animals as starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. Echinoderms are found at every ocean depth, from the intertidal zone to the abyssal zone.
