Meaning of "echinodermal" in English

The term "echinodermal" refers to anything related to echinoderms, a phylum of marine animals that includes starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. These animals are known for their radial symmetry, a hard calcareous skeleton, and a unique water vascular system used for mobility. They are exclusively marine and can be found in a variety of ocean habitats, from shallow reefs to the deep sea. The study of echinodermal characteristics reveals important aspects of marine biology and evolutionary processes.
