Detailed explanation-1: -Sea stars have a water vascular system and tube feet much like those of the sea urchins. Ambulacral grooves (from the Latin root ambul meaning walk) are narrow channels in the oral surface of a sea star filled with tube feet. The tube feet are used mainly for grabbing and locomotion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tube feet of echinoderms move and handle food using a hydraulic system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Echinoderms have a unique water vascular system. This network of fluid-filled tubes helps them to breathe, eat, and move. Therefore, they can function without gill slits. Echinoderms also have a very simple digestive system, circulatory system, and nervous system.
Detailed explanation-4: -All echinoderms have a water-vascular system, a set of water-filled canals branching from a ring canal that encircles the gut. The canals lead to podia, or tube feet, which are sucker-like appendages that the echinoderm can use to move, grip the substrate, or manipulate objects.
