The phylum that is referred by the description above is the ECHINODERMS. The echinoderms are considered as invertebrate organisms found in the ocean, this means that these organisms do not have skeletons. The most prominent feature of the echinoderms are their spikes and spines. Examples are sea stars or starfish and sea urchins.
