Echinīds, also known as sea urchins, are marine invertebrates belonging to the class Echinoidea.

The echinid body is characterized by a spherical, flattened, or heart-shaped test composed of numerous interlocking plates.

Echinids possess a unique water vascular system that aids in locomotion, feeding, and respiration.

Tube feet, small muscular appendages extending from the water vascular system, help echinids move and attach to surfaces.
