Meaning of "echinoidea" in English

Echinoidea refers to a class of marine animals within the phylum Echinodermata, which includes sea urchins and sand dollars. These creatures are characterized by their spiny shells and unique water vascular systems, which enable them to move and feed. Echinoidea are benthic, living on the ocean floor, and play an important role in marine ecosystems, often contributing to the health of coral reefs. Their spherical, radial symmetry, coupled with a hard exoskeleton, distinguishes them from other marine organisms.
