Answer:

Because they are triploblastic ( Triblastica ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Their body is composed of endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. While Cnidaria are Diblastica, so they are composed only from two layers: endoderm and ectoderm.

In addition larvae of Echinoderms are bilaterally symmetrical and they become nearly-radial only as adults.
