The central body contains their organs,and their mouth for feeding. Sea stars commonly known as the starfish, 5 or more arms attached to their body. Sea urchins have many spines connected to their body. These spines help to protect them from predaturs.

MOLLUSKS:Mollusks were among the first inhabitants of the earth.Fossils of mollusks have been found in rocks and date back over 500 million years.Mollusks fossilis are usually well preservend because of their hard shell. Most mollusks have a soft, skin like organ covered with an hard outside shell. Some mollusks live on land such as the snail and slug. Other mollusks live in water such as the oyster, mussel,clam,squid and octopus. Land living mollusks,like the snail move slowy on a flat sole called a foot.Ocean living mollusks move or swim by jet propulison.They propel themselves by ejcting water from their body. For example the squid ejects water from a cavity within its body, and the scallop ejects water to move by clamping its shell closed. Other ocean living mollusks, like the oyster, attach themslevels to to rocks or other surfes and cant move. They feed by filtering small food particles from water.
